A new report from Reporters Without Borders is warning that Europe's publicly funded media could soon be facing funding threats.

無國界記者組織的一份新報告警告說，歐洲公共資助的媒體可能很快就會面臨資金威脅。

Its findings come hard on the heels of moves in the U.S. to limit public broadcasters.

該研究結果緊隨美國限制公共廣播公司的行動而來。

Congress recently passed a bill stripping media organizations of all taxpayer funding, which is part of a broader package of budget cuts.

美國國會最近通過了一項法案，剝奪了納稅人對媒體機構的所有資助，這是更廣泛的預算削減方案的一部分。

NPR and PBS will now lose more than a billion dollars in public money.

NPR 和 PBS 現在將損失超過 10 億美元的公共資金。

National Public Radio chief Catherine Mair called it a dismantling of civil institutions.

美國國家公共廣播電臺臺長凱瑟琳-邁爾（Catherine Mair）稱這是對民間機構的瓦解。

And a new report suggests that Europe's publicly funded media could face a similar fate unless action is taken.

一份新的報告指出，如果不採取行動，歐洲的公共資助媒體也可能面臨類似的命運。

Let's talk about that with Thibault Boutin.

讓我們和 Thibault Boutin 一起談談這個問題。

He is the director general at Reporters Without Borders and joins us now from Paris.

他是無國界記者組織的總幹事，現在從巴黎與我們連線。

Welcome to DW and thank you for your time.

歡迎來到 DW，感謝您抽出寶貴時間。

So we're hearing here that public broadcasters are under threat.

是以，我們在這裡聽到的是公共廣播公司正受到威脅。

Why do you think that they need to be saved?

你為什麼認為他們需要被拯救？

I think it's important to remind people what is the ethos of public service media.

我認為有必要提醒人們什麼是公共服務媒體的精神。

They are the home of pluralism, of quality journalism, of investigation in many countries.

在許多國家，它們是多元化、高質量新聞報道和調查的發源地。

And they have this specific duty towards the public.

So yes, we can discuss their policies and programs, definitely, and even more so because they are owned by the public.

所以，是的，我們可以討論他們的政策和計劃，當然，更因為它們是由公眾擁有的。

But some of the attacks against them are very harsh and not related to the actual behavior of the broadcaster.

但有些對他們的攻擊非常嚴厲，與廣播公司的實際行為無關。

So we need to distinguish between the weaponization of the assault on public service media and the necessary rebuilding of public service media in the future.

是以，我們需要區分攻擊公共服務媒體的武器化和未來公共服務媒體的必要重建。

What is the biggest challenge or the biggest challenges for European public broadcasters at the moment?

歐洲公共廣播公司目前面臨的最大挑戰是什麼？

The first one is obviously the question of governance and how it can be instrumentalized to serve the interest of the ruling party or the government.

首先顯然是治理問題，以及如何利用治理為執政黨或政府的利益服務。

And the second is the question of the funding.

And for very good, legitimate management and financial management reasons, sometimes there are strong decisions made against public broadcasters and campaigns led against them.

出於很好的、合理的管理和財務管理原因，有時會對公共廣播公司做出強烈的反對決定，併發起反對它們的運動。

But we need to find, and that is the goal of the European Media Freedom Act, which is coming into effect on August 8th, to try and create a system that enables the broadcasters to remain independent, both in governance and funding.

但是，我們需要找到--這也是即將於 8 月 8 日生效的《歐洲媒體自由法案》的目標--嘗試創建一個系統，使廣播公司能夠在管理和資金方面保持獨立。

You have warned that financial reform is sometimes used as a cover, actually, for political control.

您曾警告說，金融改革有時被用作政治控制的幌子。

How can it be distinguished between necessary reform and manipulation?

And maybe you can just provide some cases that you're seeing.

也許你可以提供一些你看到的案例。

So obviously, there is a momentum in current media history with the Trump administration.

是以，很明顯，在當前的媒體歷史中，特朗普政府的勢頭很猛。

And the way Donald Trump is trying to fuel the hunger of the public towards the public broadcaster is totally unprecedented, because he's trying to kill journalism in the United States.

唐納德-特朗普試圖煽動公眾對公共廣播公司的飢渴，這種做法完全是史無前例的，因為他試圖扼殺美國的新聞業。

He's obviously trying to say that the public service broadcasters are, you know, fat cats that need to be, you know, skinned.

他顯然是想說，公共服務廣播公司是需要被剝皮的肥貓。

And that is not, you know, what facts prove.

The budgets of public broadcasters in lots of countries are actually, you know, reduced under pressure.

在許多國家，公共廣播機構的預算實際上是在壓力下減少的。

There is a concern that in the geopolitical and political moment that we're living through, that even the size of the public broadcaster is not big enough.

有人擔心，在我們所經歷的地緣政治和政治時刻，即使是公共廣播公司的規模也不夠大。

So we need to distinguish between people that have an agenda and people that actually want the best for the public service media.

是以，我們需要區分有目的的人和真正希望公共服務媒體發展得更好的人。

How should public broadcasters be positioning right now?

公共廣播機構現在應該如何定位？

And is there a point in having that many public broadcasters on the continent?

在非洲大陸設立這麼多公共廣播機構有什麼意義嗎？

I mean, or should there be more of a European approach?

我的意思是，還是應該更多采用歐洲的方法？

So RSF is very concerned with the geopolitical mistake made by the Trump administration of trying to stop the broadcasting of Radio Free Europe and Voice of America.

是以，無國界記者組織非常關注特朗普政府試圖阻止自由歐洲電臺和美國之音廣播的地緣政治錯誤。

That is why we consider that it's about time that the EU try and build a coalition of public service broadcaster working toward the outer world.

是以，我們認為現在是歐盟嘗試建立一個面向外部世界的公共廣播聯盟的時候了。

It's very important that national broadcasters strengthen each other.

國家廣播公司相互加強是非常重要的。

And we have the EBU from that, the European Broadcasting Union.

我們還有歐洲廣播聯盟（EBU）。

But we can also imagine something bigger in terms of broadcasting towards Eastern Europe, towards the Federation of Russia.

但我們也可以想象在面向東歐、面向俄羅斯聯邦的廣播方面有更大的作為。

And Deutsche Welle, France Mediamonde, the French counterpart of Deutsche Welle, and Radio Free Europe should really partner in that regard because there is much to be done, very much at stake, and we need to have a coalition and alignment of programs and views.

德國之聲、法國媒體（德國之聲在法國的對口機構）和自由歐洲電臺應該在這方面結成真正的夥伴關係，因為要做的事情很多，事關重大，我們需要聯合起來，統一節目和觀點。

And it's interesting because your report, it calls for a sharp European awakening.

有趣的是，你的報告呼籲歐洲人猛醒。

I'm curious, because in less than a month, the European Media Freedom Act is coming into force.

我很好奇，因為再過不到一個月，《歐洲媒體自由法》就要生效了。

How do you see that factoring into the dynamics in the media landscape?

您如何看待媒體格局的動態變化？

And the deadline of August 8, which is the date where the EMFA will come into effect, is a deadline that will not be met by many member states within the EU.

而 8 月 8 日是 EMFA 生效的最後期限，歐盟內部的許多成員國都無法在這一期限內完成。

And we still have a kind of appreciation of this legislation, which is prevalent in many member states.

而且，我們仍然對這項立法抱有一種欣賞的態度，這在許多成員國都很普遍。

And this appreciation is that the EMFA was designed so as to address the challenges of the media and journalism within Central Europe where it's very much under attack.

我的理解是，EMFA 的目的是應對中歐媒體和新聞業面臨的挑戰，因為在中歐，媒體和新聞業受到了嚴重的攻擊。

But every member state has to look into its own policies and regulation.

但每個成員國都必須研究自己的政策和法規。

And there is no member state that is having such a great regulatory framework that they don't need to revise or review it.

沒有一個成員國擁有如此完善的監管框架，以至於不需要對其進行修訂或審查。

So we're calling on every EU member state to look into the national legislation and try to find ways to improve the situation, to guarantee also for the future, obviously, the independence and the stability of the funding of the broadcasters, but also more generally, try to address the many articles of the EMFA, which is a good, strong framework to look into the policies in every EU member state.

是以，我們呼籲每一個歐盟成員國研究國家立法，努力找到改善這種狀況的方法，保證未來廣播公司資金的獨立性和穩定性，但更普遍的是，努力解決《歐洲廣播電視法》的許多條款，這是一個很好的、強有力的框架，可以研究每一個歐盟成員國的政策。
