Review 2004
Exciting discussions, new conclusions and satisfied participants - the
EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE 2004 generated appetite for more.
Prof. Dr. Peter Glotz
(University St. Gallen)
"We need to seriously face the question if a balanced form of communication is being implemented in Central and Eastern Europe. The EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE 2004 has done so."
Borris Brandt
(Managing Director, Endemol Germany)
"I am pleased to have been part of this enthralling symposium. I look forward to an invitation in 2005. I especially liked the high quality of the audience and the panel members."
Prof. Dr. Johannes Kreile
(Lawyer and Media Expert, RA Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz)
"The EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE has shown once again the importance of legal guidelines for a European film and TV market. Radio and TV must be firmly positioned in every country. Especially the Eastern European nations show the significance media has achieved for a liberal social order. Freedom of speech and of the press are a decisive factor, which needs to be closely watched today and in the future, especially under the aspect of the diversity of available media."
Elisabeth Gütschow
(Sales Manager, Telepool GmbH)
"Great concept. It was very interesting. I look forward to next year!"
Henning Röhl
(Former Director of MDR, Managing Director of Bibel TV)
"I am under the impression that the exchange of knowledge and program between Western European TV executives and those in Central and Eastern Europe has lessened in the past years. This is why a symposium such as the EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE is of great importance and significance. I believe the event in Munich has opened many new channels of communication. It is especially important that the Western European nations should prevent an appearance of "taskmasters" or pure "program sellers"; one should try to get involved in a true dialogue, with a true give and take. Important approaches were also identified in Munich."
Dr. Reinhard Wieczorek
(Referatsleiter für Arbeit und Wirtschaft, Landeshauptstadt München)
"The regional capital Munich welcomes the EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE 2004 with its ideal platform for an exchange of experience in the Eastern and Western European TV business. Munich is a media capital in the heart of Europe, taking a leading role in all business segments and offers the largest variety of services for TV. With a total of 40 destinations available, Munich offers the best connections to the East and looks forward to continuing the Television Dialogue in 2005."
Erik Bettermann
(Director, Deutsche Welle)
"Media in the EU Accession Countries have an important influence on the unification process. It is the task of the German international broadcasting service to accompany this process. The EUROPEAN TELEVISION DIALOGUE 2004 offered to us a very interesting platform to reach new insights in the media landscape of Central and Eastern Europe, to make new contacts and to deepen the existing cooperation with the Accession Countries' broadcasters."
