introduction
Benvidos
TVG (Television de Galicia), the public service broadcaster of Galicia, welcomes
you to the 31st CIRCOM Regional Annual Conference in Santiago de Compostela, the capital of this Spanish autonomous community. Organised under the
theme “The Way Forward”, we wish this meeting to be a great opportunity to
discuss the biggest challenges for regional Public Service Broadcasters (PSB) in
the academic atmosphere of the Faculty of Communications. The title not only
honours its host city, one of Europe’s major symbols due to its centuries-old
Pilgrims’ Way, but also invites delegates to discuss how to maintain public service
broadcasting in times of remarkable budget cutbacks and an ongoing digital
revolution. The slogan also aims to stress the relevant role of regional PSB in the
development of society and helping out people to take full part in democracy as
European citizens.
The key aspects of strategic management, TV production, journalism and technical implementations will lead the delegates through this pan-European market
of knowledge, where there will also be room for training and cooperation. The
Prix CIRCOM Gala, which will take place in the Parador Hostal dos Reis Católicos,
will be the scenery to celebrate and recognize the best European regional TV
productions in 2012.
Galicia was formerly deemed as the Land’s End, but now it is just a privileged
window to the Atlantic ocean where highly competitive companies develop
side by side to monumental cities and where the green nature blends with the
sea along many beautiful bays. The Galician language, the gaitas (bagpipes) and
the seafood and local wines are also symbols of the strong personality of this
welcoming region.
Bo camiño!
¡Buen camino!
Have a nice walk! during your stay in Santiago de Compostela.

Johan Lindén,
Secretary General of CIRCOM Regional
It is about the future
There is something truly beautiful with Spring and the annual CIRCOM conference.
Both bring light, warmth and ambition back to life. If you are a newcomer you
might think that the content of this conference programme is, as we say in Swedish,
a Smorgasbord of interesting sessions, really hard to choose from. If you have attended several, you will most probably discover that this is an unusually interesting
conference covering the most important strategic aspects, with the best regional
programmes and producers and also the cutting edge of production technology.
This conference is about the future of Public Service, the future of regional television
and the future of regional societies in Europe. And no matter if you are a new friend
or a regular; I know that you will appreciate the Prix Gala. From where should you
start your journey for the future, if not from the historical Hostal dos Reis Católicos in
Santiago de Compostela? From here on: The way is forward!
Johan Lindén, Secretary General of CIRCOM Regional

Let’s define what we are. The need for regional identity and
the role of Public Service Broadcasters.
European regions, with their territorial, cultural and linguistic diversity, are a source of the strength of people’s identity which help to
promote the European citizenship and democracy. The regional

Cooperation & Coproductions around CIRCOM Regional
CIRCOM Regional has found a successful way forward in cooperation & coproduction, developing several projects in order to
enhance the level of collaboration among its members. One of
these initiatives was granted by the European Parliament in March
2013: the Citizenship project. It will start in the framework of the
Conference, and this session will be its official launch, as all the
CIRCOM Regional members are invited to join the project. The
session will be an opportunity to discuss the current main specific
challenges for cooperation & coproduction between regional
Public Service Broadcasters.

TV scenarios for a convergent world. Non-linear TV and online
challenge - Where is the European TV Industry heading to?
One of the main European experts in television strategy and
regulatory consulting will set the scene of linear and non-linear TV,
especially within the European broadcasting model. The evolution
so far shows the fragmentation of the linear TV audiences and the
explosion of non-linear TV. Let’s take a glance at the perspectives
of both models and at the key issues of the regulation in the
European Union.

Dancing with the indies... benefits for all. Regional
broadcasters promote creative industry, and learn from it.
This session focuses on cooperation between independent producers and regional broadcasters. Are regional stations embracing
the role of promoters of the creative industry? Is it possible for
them to do so? Do these co-operations have benefits for both
parts? Are there any best practices to learn from?

Minorities, an opportunity?
Minorities is a broad concept, including cultural minorities and
minority groups. The multicultural society, the language, diversity
and culture of European minorities can be found in the reports or
programmes showcased in this session. This category is absolutely
essential in any regional TV programming, especially for cultural
and linguistic reasons.

Computer assisted investigative reporting.
How to handle vast amounts of data and make it count.
The session will focus on how to use data for journalism – in special
investigations and on a daily basis. Examples from around the world
will show how using Excel and other database tools can improve
the work of journalists and help them find unique stories. During
the session the audience will learn to use data for journalism analysis
and presentations and also how to publish interactive applications
and visualizations on the web. The speaker will stress the importance of journalists and developers working together, side by side.
