INTERMAG General Assembly Stockholm September 18 - 19, 2015 |
Friday, September 18, 2015 Start: 14.00 / End: ±17.00
1. Opening of the General Assembly
Gerhard Losher (BR) welcomed the attendants and especially
Mette Nordström from YLE. She is the successor of Stefan Winiger at YLE/TV-Nytt
and attended the first time,
2. Approval of the ”Proposed Minutes”
The
Minutes of the General Assembly September 26-27, 2014 in Brussels were approved.
3. Interested Programmes
Colleagues from DR and NRK
were in Stockholm for a meeting amongst Scandinavian broadcasters where they
discussed on exchanging more foreign affairs reports since now mainly domestic
themes are shared. Unfortunately they had to leave earlier. Mette Nordström
points out that one of DR's programmes is "Madmagasinet" a consumer oriented food show. It would be a
good partner for Euromaxx.
The Finnish and Swedish department of YLE don't really have shows dealing with
foreign affairs. It's all about domestic current affairs which nevertheless could
be interesting for other INTERMAG members. The Swedish speaking news show
TV-Nytt broadcasts items of 1'30 to 5'00 many of which on the Baltic States and
Russia. Another interesting Swedish show is "Närbild" on the coastal area's.
4. Exchange
There
seems to be a misinterpretation of the statutes that INTERMAG reports can be
used as footage in newly produced reports. This is incorrect. If reports have
to be shortened dramatically it should be done after consulting the offering
member.
Dagmar Michel/DW more specifically told us
that actually DW makes agreements with production companies where it is stated
that no more than 1/4 of the report can be changed or cut. If this is not
possible the report should be eighter purchased or the author should be
contacted.
Still it cannot be allowed that any change or
cut alters the message of the report.
Furthermore
the idea of not having to buy rights if a
report is exchanged is not entirely correct. Gerhard Losher/BR states
that if the worldwide rights are acquired there shouldn't be a problem. But
even in case of worldwide rights for ARD other stations have to get the rights
again for scenes or images the ARD had to pay license fees for.
The
question was asked whether it is possible to exchange footage from the
archives. That would be a personal choice of the consulted member and could be
an interesting side effect of INTERMAG membership.
It was
suggested to also include planned shoots in the offerings.
5. Election presidency
Gerhard Loser already announced last year that he
wouldn't step up as president again in 2015. He sticks with that decision
especially since now there was some bad news from the BR board. In order to cut
down costs there are plans to turn Euroblick into a best off show of ARD reports
from different current affairs programmes. Furthermore the news director is
only interested in news instead of human interest and wants to focus more on
domestic issues. This of course would also jeopardize Euroblick's INTERMAG
membership.
Gerhard gives a short historic overview of INTERMAG and points
out that after some difficult years where a lot has been done to enhance our
organisation INTERMAG practically runs itself at the moment and evolved into a
small but reliable club.
Ingrid Thörnqvist was nominated
for election by several members and accepted to step up. She was unanimously
voted. Her main task would be networking. She proposes to choose a new
president every year who also takes over the organization of the next meeting.
Since Ingrid becomes the new president there was a
vacancy for Vice-President. Erin Rostad was asked and agreed to
do the job till next meeting. Kathrin Lemke stays on as the first
vice-president and thus INTERMAG is in capable female hands.
6. Future of
INTERMAG
As it
was announced last year the Brussels office of Deutsche Welle hosts the
Coordination Centre until the end of 2015. After that a new home base has to be
found.
The
solution would be to split up the responsibilities of the CC.
Allan Tammik of SVT would become the new coordinator. The CC takes
care of the organization and administration of the meeting, communication with
the members, filing the offerings and supervising the address list.
The accounting
will be dealt with by Deutsche Welle. Dagmar Michel/DW-Fokus Europa kindly
offers to take care of the invoices (according to the member list delivered by
the CC) and to manage the funds of INTERMAG for 2 years (from 01.01.2016 till
31.12.2017). After that period another member should step up to take over. The
fee continues to be 500,00 €. Paying shows commitment
and makes INTERMAG independent and autonomous. INTERMAG can choose the venue
for the meeting and pay all expenses. Fokus Europa would be exempt from the
yearly fee. Also a reward of 1000 € is appropriated to the coordinator.
The
Website will remain with Deutsche Welle. If changes have to be made the CC can
still rely on Gerd Lemmens to pass on the info to the IT department.

30 - October, 01, 2016. If that doesn't work out for some reason or another
September 16-17, 2016 is considered.
