Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Community Broadcasting: Discussion

1:15 pm

Ms Sally Galiana:

This is a question of language. Reference was made to the many approaches towards the public service broadcasting charge from different organisations. However, as Mr. Moore noted, community media is clearly defined in the legislation. It is about ownership and not only about interviewing someone in the community. That does not make a station part of the community media. Community media is about the possibility of those in the community making their own programmes, and that is important. We are not working with the community; we are the community. That is the difference.
