| Message | This is a difficult topic. The JLSP tends to favour it, as we think it can work very well, as in the case of the BBC in britain, to cite a real life example, which tends to be pretty progressive when it comes to new television and new forms of media (for example, they're going to be one of the first companies to start offering legit online access to TV shows), so they're a good example of what can happen when it's done correctly. I think arts in general tend to suffer under market conditions, and this can be a good counter to that, ensuring that the whole market is driven to produce original television, rather than stagnate on tried and tested formulas. As simply a news and education setup, we may still support it. We understand the dangers involved in government run television, but we believe it's safe so long as the ties between the organisation and the government are limited to little more than funding. This way, the company can operate independantly and shouldn't answer to either any single administration, either due to mandate or due to favourable market policies, as there'll be little incentive to, monetary or otherwise. Summary: the JLSP will most likely support this bill. |
