The Covid-19 pandemic and minority language media in Europe: The effects of spring 2020 lockdowns
This article focuses on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns in spring 2020, on the sphere of minority language media. Taking a comparative case study approach across 11 minority language settings in Europe, the research builds upon expert interviews conducted with practitioners and scholars by the present authors. This is thematically broken down into the areas of audience figures and funding implications, effects on non-news conte…
Monitoring the Screens: Current Challenges of Minority Language Media in the Context of the Council of Europe
The rapidly changing media landscape affects all areas of society, but minoritized groups and media in minority languages can be particularly precarious. Therefore, after a short outlook on the relevant regulation and case-law in the context of the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE and the EU, this paper unpacks media trends and challenges minority language media faces in a post-Covid-19 era, then looks at how international monitoring handles t…
Divergence and convergence: The implications of shifting media consumption habits on the field of minority language media studies
This commentary assesses what impact the generational divergence of audience preferences alongside the platform convergence of content creators will have for minority language media outlets and researchers working in this subdiscipline. An overview of the history of minority language media studies depicts this in two waves – first with ‘traditional’ media forms, followed by a second wave with the emergence of social media as a mass form of speake…
Minority language broadcasting beyond the core audience: The approach of BBC Alba and S4C to non-speakers of Scottish Gaelic and Welsh
Public broadcasting in minority languages forms a core pillar in policy relating to language maintenance/revitalisation, yet it also overlaps with cultural policy more broadly when considering the wider audience. BBC Alba and S4C are channels dedicated entirely to public broadcasting in a minority language, however, they differ in policy aims and legal structure as well as being launched in different media eras. This article unpacks these aspects…
Evaluating the Introduction of Scottish Gaelic Public Broadcaster BBC Alba
The article evaluates the policy decision to introduce BBC Alba and provide a public service for Gaelic speakers, focusing on the differing aims and mandates of its two funders - the BBC and MG Alba. Using a logical framework, we examine the aims and strategy BBC Alba has deployed in the context of its two main audience groups: the core Gaelic community and the wider Scottish audience. We utilise data from annual reports, including audience size,…
Introduction to Special Issue “Marginality on the Margins of Europe – The Impact of Covid-19 on Roma Communities in Non-EU Countries in Eastern Europe”
states, their institutional capacity and policies with regard to the Roma are more limited than those of their EU neighbours, while state capacity for providing economic relief to mitigate the impact of prevention measures taken against Covid-19 is relatively limited. Additionally, research on the impact of the pandemic on minority groups in these countries is comparably less developed than similar research carried out in EU countries. Consequent…
Roma and the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Income Loss and Its Effects Across Roma Communities in Seven Non-EU Countries
This article focuses on income loss and its knock-on effects experienced by Roma communities in seven non-EU states during the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown measures in the first half of 2020. Roma communities in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine were all facing socio-economic exclusion and marginalisation before the COVID-19 pandemic, thus international organisations were war…
The Minority SafePack Initiative and Universal Basic Income: A Combination to Address Minority Issues in the European Union
The Minority SafePack Initiative ( mspi ) calls for a pact between minorities and majorities in order to preserve, develop and promote the linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe resulting from the high number of national minorities inside the European Union. This article examines the theory behind universal basic income as well as two policy proposals on the EU level and how these overlap with the stated goals and broader aims of the mspi . …
Methods for detecting channel bed surface changes in a mountain torrent – experiences from the Dorfbach torrent
The erosion of and depositions on channel bed surfaces are instrumental to understanding debris flow processes. We present an overview of existing field methods and highlight their respective advantages and disadvantages. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), airborne laser scanning (ALS), erosion sensors, cross sections (CS) and geomorphological mapping are compared. Additionally, two of these approaches (i.e. TLS and CS) are tested and applied in t…
