Because we all know that a handful of masterminds and geniuses always know better than the people themselves.
Hey, I’m all for ending YLE today, they can shove that close to 300 Euros a year fee we have to pay for state propagandizing by Leftist hacks. It’s however rather amusing that these Leftists who have already ”diversified” the network (at taxpayer expense) are being told that it still isn’t good enough, they have to do more, way more, in a public name and shame scam.
European Broadcasting Union urges Yle to boost diversity
In a report published this week, the umbrella organisation of European broadcasters calls on Yle to better represent all segments of society, including immigrants.
A peer-to-peer review issued on 28 May by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) urges Finnish public broadcaster Yle to better “reflect the diversity of Finnish society, and the changes it is going through.”
The 70-page report evaluates Yle’s management practices and content according to public service values defined by the EBU three years ago. The paper is based on a self-assessment carried out by Yle and a visit to Helsinki by an international group of peers in January. The team included six broadcasting executives, consultants and specialists from Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland and the Netherlands.
In their view, “Yle programmes/content should better reflect Finnish society in all its developments and diversity. Minorities such as the immigrant populations are not really represented. Yle should work on diversity and adopt a segmented vision of its audiences to better understand their needs and expectations.”
Yle, which the paper defines as a “national free-to-air public media service company,” currently offers news in Finnish, Swedish, Sámi, Karelian, English, Russian and Finnish Sign Language, as well as short weekly programmes in the Finnish Roma language and classical Latin.
Equality plan falls short
NOTE: Leftists, always thinking in group identity politics first, about individuals ….dead last.
