Özet
Özet1980'li yıllarla birlikte her alanda olduğu gibi medya alanında da köklü dönüşümler yaşanmıştır. Ticari televizyonların hızlı bir şekilde yaygınlaşması, kamu hizmeti yayıncılığı yapan televizyonların tekel konumlarını sona erdirmiştir. Neo –liberalist politikaların etkin olduğu bu yeniden yapılanma sürecinde kamu hizmeti yayın kurumları tartışmaların merkezine yerleşmiştir. Bu kurumlara yönelik eleştirilerin odağını ise finansman konusu oluşturmuştur. Türkiye örneğine bakıldığında TRT'nin de aynı konu çerçevesinde eleştirildiği görülmektedir. Nitekim Türkiye'nin kamu hizmeti yayıncısı olan TRT, ticari rakiplerinin ortaya çıkmasından sonra gelirleriyle hep gündemi meşgul etmiştir. Özellikle kurumun elektrikten aldığı pay ile bandrol ücretleri çeşitli kesimler tarafından sorgulanmıştır. Gerek dünyada kamu hizmeti yayıncılarının gerekse Türkiye'de TRT'nin finansman sorununun ele alındığı bu çalışmada, literatürün yanı sıra yazılı basın haberlerinden de yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda TRT'nin kamu hizmeti yayıncılığının gözardı edildiği, vatandaşın üzerinde bir yük olarak görüldüğü, ticari televizyonlarla kıyaslandığı ve desteklenmediği görülmüştür.
