Table 1: Percentage of total broadcasting time 2010 by topics
Topics per group of producers
If one compares which group of deliverers produced what kind of content, it
becomes clear that some topics were exclusively produced by ordinary citizens:
for example, the aforementioned comedy programs (100%, n=83) and music
programs (100%, n=71) and a few others with fewer than ten programs in total
(see Table 4 in the appendix). Furthermore, topics mainly produced by ordinary
citizens were “traveling/holidays” (96.2%, n=26), “local politics/current affairs”
(96.0%, n=75), “nature” (93.8%, n=16), “car/traffic” (93.3%, n=15) and “religion”
(90.9%, n=11). In contrast, the young people in on-the-job-training or university
project teams focused more on special topics such as “ecology/environment”
(88.2%, n=17) or “studies/university” (57.1%, n=70) that were linked to their
studies. The last one made up a little less than a third of all student productions.
Finally, the emerging media professionals concentrated especially on “feature
film/short film”. They produced 39.3% of those programs (n=84), which add up
to about a third of all their productions. Obviously, it is more challenging for
