Dresden (kobinet), The Minister presidents of the German länder agreed yesterday in Dresden, Germany on the Amendment of the broadcast state contract. The core of the agreement is that television programmes can only be kept a maximum of a week on the Internet. This is the Magazine archive of ForseA in the foreseeable future. gba

For this purpose, a comment of kobinet-editor Gerhard Bartz

Now you have set by the publisher and the ad interrupt, channel, whose level is not discussed. And the policy supports this willingly and with cross-party support. A possible reason for this is that in the archives, mostly Magazine articles are kept. This deal is, not infrequently, a critical look at the conditions of our society, politics and the people. I can imagine that these people are quite grateful, if such contributions disappear after a short time, or – better yet – because of the shortness of the time by the broadcasters, not only to the Internet. The magazine archive of ForseA, in the since April 2008, interesting posts via a Link accessible for research, a rich Fundus. As soon as the public broadcasters have implemented this decision, this Service is to end.
