Prof. Wieslaw Godzic: we are doomed public television – Onet.pl

Heather Magda: Is the Fourth Republic reach the fourth power?

Prof. Wieslaw Godzic: Must, it is logical. The judiciary and the media are the first spoils of the victorious party. I have nothing to doubt. Who in a democracy the media, wins everything.

National Television, which seeks to create law and justice and a better future for public television?

I do not know what madness is this attempt convince us that television has to be a national and controlled from above. It is unacceptable the idea that scheduling created the politicians who will decide how much is to be historical series on television and how they are treated by history. It’s very dangerous. From that journalists and publishers. I have nothing against patriotism rozumianemu straight until you will not want to cover the entire public sphere. Another thing that produce such “work” is easy, but to force people to watch them it’s trouble.

Ideas PiS public media is becoming increasingly clear the. We also have the first very concrete steps. How do you assess the idea of ​​subordination of the public media and to change the culture minister of commercial companies in the cultural institutions?

Idea which has so far been realized, it was not good. We complained that television has to make money. But probably not so easy we should say goodbye to your subscription. So how bad was the creation of State-owned companies just as bad – if not worse – is the subordination of media power. They will always be prey to those who win. I do not know a minister who does not want to subject his television showed better his lot and realized his ideas ideological. It is dangerous, however, absolute compliance – including financial. Directors will import again “in files” and public television will be the only people favoring Law and Justice – it’s very dangerous vision.

Law and Justice created an atmosphere of chaos and fear. Are journalists – whose names we hear from the winning PiS election – should have to look for a new job?

Their days are numbered, it will be the courts demonstration. PiS politicians will be easy to fire people, they will soon receive the programs. I can reassure you that it will come better. Whatever happens, however, he thinks the views of Tomasz Lis, to his credit, that is an excellent journalist. And we should protect professionals.

We are preparing for a change in the appointment of the boards of the television companies. These are to be single, represented by “authorities of the world culture.” Obtain a cure for ailing for years the system?

PiS very zaimponowałby me, if appointed to the boards of those without recommendation party, but based on past actions of politicians of this party seems impossible. Instrumental present understanding – we have TV, we do what we want, then we should be.

PiS proposed yet before the elections in order to “force” the Poles to pay a subscription, telling them to pay a fee of electricity bills, or PIT-I. Is not it better to first create the programming schedule for which people are willing to pay?

Undoubtedly, you first have to propose an offer, and then preach to pay. With us is exactly the opposite – you have to pay, and what television is, so it is.

What is your opinion Mr today’s public television programming schedule?

We have interesting documentaries, but on the other hand, hopeless cabarets. Also read recently that formed the so-called. impresario, who will be catching celebrities to TVP.

What is missing you on national television?

I miss the visionary thinking and diagnose problems. All those who want to reform the TV, they say: once it was cool. But once there was competition or the internet! I would like to speak not about how much need the money, but what are needed. Then we begin to scratch off. In addition, there is now talk about relationships television to the Internet. Part programs – those carried out for less money – may yet appear on the network.

What should therefore be the public television?

The main feature of public television is its quality, which we have forgotten. In terms of concept, implementation is to be the best television. This is where journalists should want to get in the first place.

We are far from this pattern. Many Poles public television today treat as inferior and downright boring.

It should allow people to speak. It does not have to be boring. Television is the art of personality, but you must be able to find interesting speakers. Today, programs are based on the celebrities, but beyond them there are people who draw their intellect and ability to talk to people. Public television can be extremely interesting. Commerce does not show what you can not sell well. I am thinking, among others, about programs for children and the elderly. In the US, public television has a beautiful motto – “voice of voiceless” – the voice of those who in society do not have a voice. It is to serve the people, be a kind of civic television, far from politics.

public media, however, are always tasty target for politicians. We at all in this case talk about their supervisory roles?

Are you sure, now more than ever. It is said, however, that the media should be surrounded by a cordon sanitaire against politicians. Without the dam and bringing social demands, we will lose the ability to control. Polish investigative journalism has its successes, but now it will be harder. I am afraid that we live increasingly in an atmosphere of scandals overnight. For now, euphoria, and then comes the hangover. It turns out that people do not want them (PiS – ed.) To watch.

What educational the role of television?

public television must be the elite of Television Theatre – albeit niche – a network schedule. We forget that the relationship with television viewers is true when we start talking about it. Television is not an intellectual asset, but the most important is the creation of fields such discussions. Violence. It has to feel and understand the pain of social, navigate uncomfortable topics. Should always take very principled position, uphold the values.

Returning in discussions, the key word is ” mission”. Who is to decide about its contents?

Maybe missionaries? (laughs) Unfortunately, the mission is so dangerous that it must be the model to which we strive. Do not check it in today’s world, where as authorities deemed to various showmen. I understand the impatience of all those who would change the world. Remember, however, that television remains the medium of entertainment. Blaming its responsibility for the fact that people are rude and stupid is inappropriate. This is called “moral panic.”

Or maybe public television is to us at all unnecessary, and its tasks – while we’re not mission – should be entrusted to commercial TV channels?

You’re right, a few years ago he began a discussion that – similar to the system in science grant – organize TV tenders. For example, the report need to create a program for children ages 8-12. They become then the competition TVP1, TVP 2, TVN and smaller stations. The winner is the one who will present interesting deal.

So we see the last gasp of public television?

The death of public television as we know it. This no doubt will soon die. We need a new TV, which outstrip our times. It should be a creative place, a breeding ground for talent, a strong thanks to ideas.

Ideas have newer – on TV series. The Americans, who took over in the spring of TVN, are impressed worship, which the Poles have for serials. Maybe they are our future?

The fact is that young people find it difficult to withstand a 1-day, 5 hours movie … But we should know what series we need, and what does not. Why series of the second generation are outstanding? Because they have a great scenarios! And we think that as wpompujemy big money in a weak productions, this powerful satellite will be on Woronicza! Nothing of the sort, you should walk away from this thinking.

What the historical TV series, which pompously announced the PiS?

And these we need. But ultimately agree with the PiS! (laugh). But the devil is in the details. Glorification, romanticism, or simply show the spirit of history? If you take it into the hands of policy, it will do anything not to swallow.

Has anyone ever asked Poles, what television they want?

The question is a simple question and this after the fact. Just as it was with dobranockami. It is an argument audience, but I miss the qualitative assessment. The trouble is, we do not know what it means that the group is watching TV. There are cases of very careless watch the programs and watching “against”. Many people have a favorite, because it hates them! They like to watch some “imbecile”. Interesting approach, right?

However, there are proposals to public television to give the citizens.

Like most, you might want to allow local governments to organize themselves and different social groups, send them a team of reporters. It attracts people emotionally. I also had the idea of ​​social Roundtable on public media to ask citizens what they expect. Then, for two years – since the time of the budget stand – show these proposals and finally determine whether the shape of the TV suits us.

That would be the role of program councils …

I have been for ten years TVP Kraków programming councils. This body, which may be assessed, but none of this is not clear. There can anyone recommend, because the boss is coming from Warsaw. Pointless action.

Public Television in accordance with the amended provisions is to “support” and not just “respect “Christian values. At the same time we are talking about the necessary respect for diversity. How does this fit?

Church when he walks into the studio, he begins to think only of evangelism, while you can it does not necessarily create on his knees. I miss the programs in which intellectuals would participate church. We have a crisis of values, and the church washes his hands of it. He would not have such ready for it to appear intellectually against Muslims. Perhaps the representatives of different religions should be on national television to present his point of view, and an ecumenism would help the world?

While our clergy in general both capable and willing to speak publicly.

Our way of being a man of faith is very popular, primitive and unfortunately it goes bad on TV. It may be a priest afford to otherness, naturalness? For now, anyone who takes as a religion on television, it becomes tiny. It is what it is, or TV Trwam absolutely lot of people – and me – are not satisfied.

According to the Social Diagnosis 2015., najnieszczęśliwsi are Poles, who do not watch television at all, or those who spend in front of TV 4 hours a day.
