Proximity communication models: Governance and funding of German, Belgian and Spanish public regional media

Abstract:

This paper approaches three different proximity communication models, the German one, the Belgic one and the Spanish one. The regional struc ture of these three countries allows for a comparative analysis of both their organ ization and their funding. The study of their governance shows different degrees of independence of their public management. In the analysis of the financial data it is outlined the budget increase of the German and Belgic public regional media against the cutbacks affecting the autonomic Spanish media.
