LATVIA - Television across Europe: Regulation, policy and independenceLatvia’s television sector still faces several important problems. Regulation has suffered from a lack of independence, a situation that may worsen if currently proposed new laws are passed. The independence and financing of the public broadcaster remain unresolved, and broadcasting has suffered from restrictive provisions limiting Russian language programming. The broadcasting sector also generally lacks shared professional journalistic standards and adequate protection for journalists. These are the main findings of the Latvia country report included in the monitoring series Television across Europe: regulation, policy and independence. The country report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Media Program) in cooperation with the Providus Public Policy Center, and released in Riga on 12 December 2005. The monitoring series Television across Europe includes a total of twenty country reports. Each report makes concrete recommendations addressed at bringing the television sector into line with international standards, and with citizens’ needs.
