“…In the US e Jerry Springer Show (Lunt and Stenner, 2005) relied on confrontation; e Phil Donahue Show (Carbaugh, 1988) and e Oprah Winfrey Show (Peck, 2008) were more restrained discussions of still very emotive topics. In the UK, programmes such as Kilroy (Livingstone and Lunt, 1996) discussed issues that were part of the broader political eld, while Question Time (McNair et al, 2003) focused on institutionalized politics. Despite these intra-genre di erences, all these programmes were based on the principle that "an active role is accorded to the studio audience which participates in a discussion about social, personal or political problems under the supervision of a presenter" (Leurdijk, 1999: 37, my translation).…”

“…ese forms of media participation allow citizens to be active in one of the many (micro-)spheres relevant to daily life, and to put into practice their right to communicate. Although mainstream media have attempted to organize audience participation (Livingstone and Lunt, 1994;McNair et al, 2003), community and alternative media in particular have proven more successful at organizing more intense forms of participation in the media (Girard, 1992;Downing et al, 2001;Rodriguez, 2001;Bailey et al, 2007). e theories and practices of community and alternative media will be discussed in more detail later in this chapter, but it is important to stress that these types of media organizations have strong links to the concept of participation, at the levels of both self-representation and self-management, which positions them close to the logics of direct, delegative and participatory democracy.…”

“…La participación de la audiencia en el contenido de los medios públicos se ha encauzado habitualmente también a partir de programas de participación ciudadana en el que se debaten cuestiones políticas de actualidad (McNair et al, 2002;Sívori, 2010;Thorsen, 2013). Sin embargo, esta participación para algunos autores aunque valiosa, es pobre al ser individual.…”

Cómo citar este artículo / Referencia normalizadaA Azurmendi, C. Llorens, N. López Vidales, J.J. Bas Portero (2015): "La participación del público como valor añadido de servicio público para la televisión de proximidad. Estudio de caso de La noche de…, en ETB 2". Revista Latina de Comunicación Social, 70, pp. 490 Frente a la crítica tradicional que señala a la televisión pública centrada en las audiencias como una televisión más cercana a los modelos comerciales que al servicio público, la literatura contemporánea sitúa, precisamente, en la participación de las audiencias una de las claves de la televisión pública en la era de la digitalización y la convergencia (Castro 2012;Doyle 2010;Kjus 2009; Bardoel 2007). El artículo se centra en el estudio de la participación en las televisiones públicas autonómicas, en particular en dos cuestiones: 1. Si la variedad de cauces de participación existentes en las producciones crossmedia -programa de televisión que cuenta con web propia, foros de expresión de opinión y cuentas sociales en Twitter y Facebook-aumentan la participación efectiva de las audiencias; y 2. Si esta participación puede encuadrarse en el cumplimiento de las obligaciones de servicio público de televisión, especialmente, de las de proximidad. Metodología: Se parte de un análisis descriptivo de la literatura sobre participación de las audiencias y de las formas de participación promovidas por las políticas europeas, estatales y autonómicas. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se estudia el caso de "la noche de…" un programa de ETB 2. Resultados: Se comprueba que la atención creciente a la participación del público, tanto en la literatura europea y española como en la regulación existente, no tiene un reflejo proporcional en la realidad de la gestión de las televisiones públicas, en particular en las televisiones públicas autonómicas.[EN] Introduction. While the model of public service television that focuses on audiences has been traditionally criticised for being more akin to the commercial television model than to the public service broadcasting model, contemporary literature points out that in the age of digitisation and convergence audience participation is precisely a key element of public television (Castro, 2012;Doyle, 2010;Kjus, 2009; Bardoel, 2007). This article examines audience participation in Spanish regional public service television and, particularly, tries to determine two questions: 1) whether the variety of participation channels provided by crossmedia productions -a TV show"s website, discussion forums and Twitter and Facebook accounts-increases effective audience participation; and 2) whether this participation can be said to contribute to the fulfilment of the mission of public service television, especially proximity television. Method. The study first provides a review of the literature on audience participation and the forms of participation promoted by European, national and regional policies. The TV show La noche de…, broadcast by the Spanish network ETB 2, is subsequently an...

“…For instance, it has been argued that UK national newspapers reporting of EU politics is largely negative, with coverage focussed on controversial policy decisions that adversely influence people in the UK (Morgan, 1999). In addition, the study could also have included more specialist television programmes that may have related to EU and local elections, such as Question Time -an hour-long format where political elites are quizzed by a live studio audience (McNair et al, 2003). Again, this may have resulted in different types of election news issues being discussed.…”

Drawing on a systematic content analysis, this article examines how far television news bulletins with different levels of public service obligations reported the EU and local elections in 2009 and the local elections in 2013. The aim is to compare coverage on the main evening terrestrial bulletins in the United Kingdom (the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) during different types of second order campaigns and according to their regulatory responsibilities. Although UK citizens appear to value local above EU elections, the latter campaign was more extensively reported than the former on all broadcasters, with politicians sourced differently. Most striking was the market deficit of second order election news, notably Channel 5 -the broadcaster with the lightest public service obligations -containing no policy related stories. It was left to the BBC -the broadcaster with the strongest public service commitments -to deliver the most comprehensive and policy-orientated coverage.
