FINNISH PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING AND THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT According to the Finnish media scholar Heikki Hellman, a European model for television broadcasting - as a model for public service television - has been an organisational arrangement derived from radio. National public broadcasters were established in most countries in the 1920s or 1930s, in Finland this took place in 1926. The model has been typical of Europe in particular and has been developed under the rationale of administering scarcity. When television broadcasts began in Western European countries during the late 1940s and the 1950s they were regarded as an extention of radio and hence became the responsibility of national radio broadcasting institutions. As a result public service provided a general paradigm for television broadcasting also applied by almost whole of Western Europe, Finland included In Western Europe public service broadcasters were national institutions operating in a national context. This means that eventhough they shared the same kind of idelogical bases of public service broadcasting, they also differed from each other in respect of factors like market size, socio-political structure, policy style, cultural and language characteristics, etc. In Finland it has been the specifically Finnish conditions, which have dictated the development of Finland's broadcasting industry: small population, the large area of the country, the tradition of political coalitions, the fast growth of the economy, the separateness of the Finnish language, and the original policy style

Yushchenko has declared his support for the changeover to a public broadcasting model for Ukrainian state television. However, the group charged with creating the model for Ukrainian public service broadcasting is facing some unexpected challenges, Lebedeva said. In order to create a successful new system of public broadcasting, Lebedeva said, the new government needs "political will," consistent and joint action by members of civil society, diligent work by media specialists and lawyers, constant monitoring, and support from the international community. Lebedeva also thinks that the existing laws on media are insufficient and will need reform. She noted that a public relations campaign will be needed to explain the importance of an independent media to the public, because "the tax payers are scared of a transition that would leave them paying for changes that they are unsure of."
