For integration and cultural diversity –
against racism and discrimination!
To accept the ethnic, cultural and religious changes as reality and to positively shape them, is one of the central tasks of the European societies and politics. The protection of our liberal-democratic basic order against fundamentalist and extremist attacks is also part of this.
The portrayal of the new reality is the task of the media.
The public service broadcasting companies furthermore
contribute to the promotion of understanding
among and between different cultures and religious
communities. Presenting the real life situation of the
immigration society in all their programmes is one of
their essential tasks, without denying their conflicts.
The Association of the Public Broadcasting Corporations
in the Federal Republic of Germany (ARD), Second
German Television (ZDF), Westdeutscher Rundfunk
(WDR), Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), the Swiss
Radio and television Corporation (SRG SSR idée suisse)
and the Slovenian Radio and Television (RTV SLO) make
their active contribution to this current and future task.
With our CIVIS Media Prize once again in 2010 we set
a sustainable signal with public impact: “For integration
and cultural diversity – against racism and
discrimination”. The CIVIS Media Prize is intended to
sensitise journalists of the electronic media for the
themes of integration and cultural diversity in Europe
and encourage them in their work through the honouring
of exemplary programmes.
We wish you every success with your participation
in the European competition of the CIVIS Media Prize
2010!
