The cultural politics of minority language media
Minority language media are increasingly being recognized as an important area of study. This article looks at what might be made in favour of such media - arguments that would be convincing not just for people committed to minority languages, but also to the broader population of speakers of other languages. Three arguments are developed. The first is from economics, the second is based on human rights, and the third concerns cultural ecology. W…
Gaelic in the Media
In January 1993 the first television programmes funded by the Comataidh Telebhisein Gdidhlig (CTG) were broadcast in Scotland. In the ten years since, much has changed in Scotland, in the Gaelic world, and in the continuing transformation of the media by digital technology and globalisation, with these different aspects meeting in the current controversy over the government's reluctance to fully fund a Gaelic digital television channel. It is a s…
Minority Languages, Nationalism and Broadcasting: The British and Irish Examples
This paper examines the relationship between nationalist movements and minority languages, with particular emphasis on examples from Britain and Ireland. This relationship is less straightforward than often assumed, and the media's role in it is particularly complex. The varying political uses of minority language broadcasting are discussed, along with the implications of the separation between cultural and political nationalism. The notion of th…

Minority Language Media in Western Europe: Preliminary Considerations
In recent years minority languages have become an increasingly important issue in Europe and part of the general debate over regionalization. As these debates have developed, the question of minority language media has also emerged as an issue of importance. However, despite some studies of specific European situations, there has been little general discussion of the problems which confront minority language media. Discussion of these issues is i…
Spoken Scots in the Media
The use of Gaelic in Scottish newspapers
This paper examines the various strategies by which Gaelic has been employed in the newspaper press in Scotland. By using the notion of language display, the use of Gaelic in both daily and weekly papers is examined and it is noted how little serious news is given in the language, with most newspaper uses being more concerned with the language's symbolic role as a signifier of Scottish or Highland identity. This is as true of the local papers dir…
Programming for cultural defence: The expansion of Gaelic television
Problems of Minority Language Broadcasting: Gaelic in Scotland
As regionalization and ethnic differentiation reassert their importance on the European political scene, the provision of minority language broadcasting becomes an increasingly contentious issue. The 1980s saw the birth of television stations broadcasting in Welsh, Basque and Catalan, and the 1990s are likely to see more demands for such linguistic recognition. This article seeks to explore some of the problems associated with minority language b…
