Summary
Democratizing Television
The term "democratizing television" was used by Henry Jenkins in his book
Convergence Culture (2006) to mark a new paradigm for understanding
changes in the media which were influenced by technological development.
The present paper is a synthesis of several years of research, during which
I sought answers to the questions: how is television changing in the age of
convergence, what problems did television face in its early attempts to pro-
mote a participation culture in its programs suitable for that, how can citi-
zens participate in a mediated public discourse and how is it influenced by
the structural bias of media. Therefore, how the structural bias of media
has been influenced by the concept of objectivity, and how television legit-
imizes itself in the era of convergence.
In the absence of social consensus on the public interest and the con-
ditions under which media are also public goods, all media compete with
each other and on equal terms. Media markets are oligopolistic, dominated
by global broadcasters and service providers, accelerating media concen-
tration in the commercial sector. The latter restricts competition, includ-
ing the one between commercial and public service media, diminishes di-
versity and narrows the supply of both: news and current affairs formats or
the popular culture formats, thereby reducing the opportunities for users
to participate in the creation of such content and to express their opinions
in a public discourse provided by television.
Media convergence is a crucial context for legitimating television es-
tablishing rules under which television's status must be renegotiated.
