Abstract This contribution investigates how public funding of media can be reinterpreted to fit a communication rights–based approach to media policy. To this end, it describes and evaluates current public funding in small democratic-corporatist European media systems. While public funding is no longer “frozen” in its late twentieth-century state, as funding mechanisms have undergone significant change, when held against a rights-based approach, it appears there is a need to shift the basis for funding from safeguarding the survival of media industries to safeguarding the communication rights of citizens, allowing media to become “enablers” in executing these rights.

冰雪奇缘 2：小型媒体系统中的通信权和公共资金的解冻

摘要 本文探讨了如何重新解释媒体的公共资助，以适应基于传播权的媒体政策方法。为此，它描述并评估了小型民主社团主义欧洲媒体系统中当前的公共资金。虽然公共资金在 20 世纪后期不再“冻结”，但随着资金机制发生了重大变化，当反对基于权利的方法时，似乎有必要将资金基础从保障生存转移媒体行业要维护公民的传播权，让媒体成为行使这些权利的“使能者”。
