RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

JRT is one of the few communities on a federal level which does not have jointly established guidelines and bases of long-term and medium-term development. VI Taken on the whole, Vugoslav television takes into account the requests of information users for authentic content, news from the local organisations of associated labour, the residents associations and the self-management communities of interest. The real need for this kind of information stems from the complex situations and problems which under the new conditions аге solved in a decentrahsed manner, hence the need for analogies in situations and forms of solving individual current problems. The need has also been accepted for information on decisions already passed to give way to information which wffl make possible the reaching of agreement, the adjustment of interests and the constitution of common positions and decisions. It is, however, as if the process halts at the borders of the republics and'provinces. It is as if the process of the differentiation of TV programmes and TV centres is stffl underway, which is undoubtedly a good thing, but it would be better if a certain amount of control could be estabhshed alongside the reverse process. The aim- thereof wc 'd not, of course, be the the merging into a homogenous 'vhole but rather the creation of »umty in diversity« especiahy as v e are not deahng with eight independent manufacturers of commodides who аге exchanging in order to achieve increased income but rather with a specific activity which is an essential part of the socio-political system.
