RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

MUHAMED NUHIČ: I shall endeavour to add something to what has been presented by Comrade Puharić, and I shaU try to be brief. I think that some of the matters discussed here аге an excellent prologue to our future task of the planning of the programme for next уеаг. We have in the past had an extremely mechanical programme where we dealt out little houses and everyone filled his little house according to his wih. After much discussion we have abandoned this and gone, it seems, to the other extreme. We have created an extremely flexible pattern in which the very flexibility has begun to grow into a new aspect of mutual insulation. Mutual coverage has reached increased intensity m extremely important programme types. I consider that the present level o mutual coverage in information-documentary, . documentary-political, musical, documentary-senes, educational programmes is greater then ever in Vugoslav television if regarded on the whole. This is not good and it would certamly be extremely useful if, while analysing this practice during discussions tor 1У /», we sought ways of moderating this extreme and decreasmg il. to the level where television is sufficiently good and a sufficiently flexib e channel of all kinds of information from all environments. It would be highly advisable to examine this in detail. These pressures are different. I think that the situation described by Comrade Puharić is valid for us all to a greater ог lesser extent. I would, however, like to add something which Comrade Puharic, it seems, only touched on. The fact that our selection of information in mformation-news programmes, first and foremost m daily news programmes is frequently not in accordance with professional laws and, therefore, not in accordance with апу other law or with political requirements, is not always the direct expression of pressure which cannot be resisted. In my opinion we ourselves must bear hrunt U a good deal of the responsibility for such a situation. We must first ask ourselves to what extent we аге professionally, sociaUy and politically prepared and capable of undertakmg responsibility for our selection and then of defending our posiuons ш a correct way without opportunism. Secondly, we must ask ourselves, and this was mentioned by Comrade Puharić, to what extent are we mternally orgamsed to assure that our own people who follow vanous branches do not apply pressure on the content of some programme of the selection of information, the information order etc. Thirdlv we must ask ourselves to what extent our interests, above and beyond programme interests or immediate programme mterests
