| Dear Colleagues,
As the period full of activities is fast approaching, I would like
to inform you of what we have done so far and what is of great importance
to us in the forthcoming days.
The
Training - Out of five Trainings that are planned for this
year, two are finished already and with great success, too.
From March 3rd through March 7th 2003, the CR
Technical Training for cameramen was held in Pinewood Studio
with AVID sponsorship and thanks to Karol Cioma. Seven cameramen
from Germany, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, France and UK, took
part in the Training. It is very important that some of them, thanks
to the knowledge they have got on the Training, will join us for
the Training
for Young Journalists in Grado.
The Middle Management Seminar was held from March 12th through
March 15th 2003 in Zagreb, sponsored by HRT and Thomson Foundation.
Nineteen participants representing eight countries attended. Positive
participation and feedback demonstrate that the needs were satisfactorily
addressed. I would like to thank Roel Dijkhuis who this year again
joined the Seminar as an excellent trainer. The themes and questions
that were addressed show how much needed such a Seminar is and I
sincerely hope that we shall have the possibility to have such a
Seminar next year, too.
The Ethnic
Minorities Seminar is to be held from April 28th through May
2nd 2003 in Budapest. The Seminar is sponsored by CoE and hosted
by Judit Klein. The Seminar is for the participants from all the
CR countries and those who have interest in Ethnic Minorities issues,
please register.
The Judging for Prix Circom will start this week in Sinaia, Romania,
thanks to the colleagues from Romanian Television and to Elena Spanily.
The co-productions "Enlargement,
the New Teenage Europe" and "The Last Straight Line"
are progressing very well, primarily thanks to Tim Johnson and Peter
Sauer. I do hope that we shall have the opportunity to see some
of these programmes in the course of the Annual Conference in Grado.
And now to the issues I need your help for:
1. The 4 Questionnaires related to CIRCOM work (Membership,
Prix
Circom, Training,
Euromusica)
I do thank all those who returned the 4 filled-in Questionnaires
and I do ask those who still have not done that (Andres Psaila,
PBS Malta, Angei Urreiztieta, RTVE, Anne Flinkkila, YLE, Maria Eugenia
Baptista, RTP, Mikkjal Helmsdal SVF, Faroe, Pier Luigi Malesani,
RAI, Sergei Erofeev, Russia, Tito Malaguerra, SRG and Zorica Kostovska,
MRTV) to send the Questionnaires. This is particularly important,
as the CR Secretariat would like to up-date the database until the
Annual Conference.
2. The Questionnaire: The
Survey of Regional TV in Europe
So far we have received the filled-in Questionnaire from Ahmed Hadzijamakovic,
PBS BiH, Judit Klein, MTV, Kjell Jarle Hoyheim, NRK, Per-Ake Krook,
SVT, Pierre Couchard, RTBF, Piotr Borys, TVP, Roel Dijkhuis, RTV
Noord, Tim Johnson, TVSyd and Vladimir Spicer, HRT.
I kindly ask the colleagues who have not returned the filled-in
Questionnaire yet, to do it soonest possible, because we do need
those data to prepare a Survey for the Conference.
3. Annual Conference,
Grado
- If you, or some one from your Television, wish to take part in
a Workshop, please let us know. So far, the participation of the
very high and strong delegation of the BBC (thanks to Anita Bhala)
and of France 3 (grāce a Jean-Marie Belin) have been confirmed
- Please send your Accreditations ASAP (all the Forms are on the
web.site)
- For the Grado Training we already have many applicants. However,
if there is interest in your Television for the Training, do apply,
particularly if you have not applied so far.
- The Grado
Training will have a special two-day Workshop for Video Journalism.
Information and Application conditions for young journalists will
be sent shortly.
With best regards,
Marija Nemcic
