The Ministry of abroad Affairs confirmed that the agreement with TVP for PLN 5.42 million includes the production and issue of 16 episodes of "Minutes for Your Safety", 7 columns in "Asking for Breakfast" and promotion for 3 months. The hotel has inactive not revealed how much each item costs. For taxpayers, this means an crucial run without full transparency of expenditure.
The hotel stated the scope of the contract
The Ministry of Interior and Administration presented to Virtual Media a more detailed scope of cooperation with Polish Television. The broadcaster is expected to produce 16 episodes of the “Minute for Your Safety” program, guarantee their release in a peculiar band, prepare 7 live column in “Asking for Breakfast” and advance the full campaign. The PLN 5.42 million contract was concluded on 4 September, and the actions were planned for 3 months.
This is an crucial addition to the information we described after disclosure that The Ministry of abroad Affairs will pay TVP over PLN 5 million for civilian defence content. At the time, the dispute afraid first of all why the ministry additionally paid the public broadcaster for the material in his mission. Now it is known that the contract includes production, emissions and advertising. However, it is inactive unclear how individual benefits were assessed.
Experts and Services alternatively of the Ministry
According to the replies of the Ministry of abroad Affairs, the broadcasts are to be performed by officials of the Ministry's departments, safety experts and experts from the topics of subsequent episodes. The management of the hotel is not to participate in the programs. This is an crucial discrimination due to the fact that the run is to teach citizens how to operate during a fire, flood, chemical contamination, power failure or alarm, not to advance politicians.
Official announcement of the Ministry of abroad Affairs besides points to material on the evacuation backpack, home pantry, first aid, misinformation and household contingency plan. The premiere episodes began on 5 September in TVP1 and TVP VOD, and the replays were besides provided in TVP's subject channels. The thematic scope itself is needed. Poland has neglected universal defence education for years, so the restoration of basic safety habits cannot wait for the crisis.
Selection of TVP and competition question
The hotel explains the choice of TVP as the largest audience scope shown in the National Broadcasting Council report. The Ministry addressed an offer request to the sender. However, the answer does not indicate whether another stations were asked for the offer or at which standards the run price was assessed.
That's the point. Wide coverage may justify the choice of public television, but it does not replace open calculation. It is not possible to honestly measure the economy of the contract until the ministry shows what part of PLN 5.42 million falls on the production of 16 episodes, which for airtime, 7 columns and promotion. simply dividing the full by the number of broadcasts would be confusing due to the fact that the contract combines respective different services.
Channel Zero offered free access to the antenna to experts and materials of the resort, and the Ministry of abroad Affairs accepted this declaration. This does not mean that online emissions can replace TVP coverage. However, it shows that the state should compare the channels of arrival, costs and effects, alternatively of covering itself with the size of the audience.
Security requires cognition and accountability
TV run only makes sense as part of a functioning system. Poles should know emergency signals, shelter and evacuation rules, but they besides request exercises. Therefore, screen materials should supplement practical consequence training by the Ministry of Interior and Fire Department, not make an impression of readiness solely by issuing the program.
The stakes at the same time concern household safety and respect for public money. A good goal does not relieve the government of the work to show the bill. The Ministry of abroad Affairs should disclose the distribution of costs, the mode of comparison of offers and performance indicators: real coverage, ratings and increase of the cognition of the recipients. A serious state teaches citizens to respond to a threat and can settle any gold issued on their behalf.
