ABOUT / ITALIAN SPEAKING RADIO AND TELEVISION COMMUNITY

Formed on April 3, 1985, as an institutional cooperation between radio and television public service - RAI, RSI, RTV Koper, Radio Vatican and San Marino RTV - Italian-speaking Radio and Television community began as a tool for enhancing the Italian language. Today its articulated structure can be illustrated by a diagram in three circles: the first circle is formed by the founding members; the second includes all media "observers", recorded; the third circle, finally, includes the "friends", the environmental framework which promotes the humus of the Community growth. Collaboration between members of the community draws its strength from the same

institutions and results in headings and joint productions. The institutional framework that stiffens the schedules gives way to a more spontaneous collaboration in the network and, at the beginning of this decade, it becomes more and more into a design reality of individuals who, in their plurality and specificity, recognize themselves in a common identity.
