Coimisiún na Meán wants report to examine broadcasters’ 2024 performances

The regulator commenced a procurement process on Friday, seeking “the services of a consultant to review ... the adequacy, or otherwise, of public funding to enable Public Service Media organisations to meet their public service objects”, according to a request for tenders published on the Government’s eTenders website.

The envisioned length of the contract is two years, with the possibility of a two-year extension. The “expected budget” offered for the consultancy services across the four years of the contract is €300,000, with an initial maximum budget of €140,000 for the first two years.The 50 best films of 2024 – a full list in reverse orderThe Oscars aren’t fair.

According to the request for tenders, consultants will be expected to prepare a report analysing the broadcasters’ performances in 2024 based on annual statement of performance commitments and the broadcasters’ own review of their performances, and to “situate/position this in the context of the wider media and economic landscape”.

The regulator also expects the report to “analyse the effectiveness” of the broadcasters’ performance commitments for 2025, “and their adequacy, or not, in helping the PSMs to fulfill their public objects for 2025″. The report should also “rovide a comprehensive evaluation of the suitability of both the current and possible future funding and advise on appropriate levels for both PSMs for 2026″.Interpol issues yellow notice for two Irish boys kept in Egypt by their father for almost three yearsMOST READThe mystery is not why we Irish have responded to Israel’s barbarism.
