The State Centralization and Control of the Broadcasting Media in Algeria From 1962 to 1982: Application and Shortcomings
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis is a case study of the post-independence Algerian broadcasting media from a cultural-critical perspective. The detailed analysis evidenced that the RTA (Radiodiffusion Television Algerienne) developed five main characteristics: (a) a failure of the elites to re-think broadcasting in the post-independence era; (b) broadcasting monopoly privileged the dissemination of official political discourse; (c) it tolerated financial, personnel and production mismanagement in exchange for political allegiance; (d) it controlled the broadcasting profession; and (e) it allowed for a paternalist conception of the audiences.
