>systems are not disaster-proof themselves. One expert explains what it

>Do you sometimes also question the current media-landscape ? Do you also
>have the feeling that audience-numbers, and thus commercial interests
>prevail ? That even public broadcasters seldom leave the beaten track ? Do
>you believe that citizens should also be able to exert their communication
>right to produce their own media ? That there is little space for the
>unexpected, for the local, for small things, as well as big issues ? Do
>you also miss auditive adventures ? With music that cannot be listened to
>elsewhere ? Spaces where talents get the chance to grow or even mess about
>in a funny way ? Where minorities get a voice and are empowered ?
