palauteperiaate

Palauteperiaate is a term used in Finnish culture, translating to "public service broadcasting" when literally translated. It refers to a system where a government entity or organization provides a service to the public, typically through broadcasting media.

In the context of Finland, palauteperiaate is often associated with Yleisradio (Yle), the country's national public broadcasting company. Yle provides a range of services, including radio and television programming, as well as digital content and online media.

One of the key principles of palauteperiaate is the concept of public service, which emphasizes the importance of information and education to the public. This means that Yle is expected to provide diverse and high-quality programming that caters to different tastes and interests, rather than solely focusing on profit or market forces.

Palauteperiaate is often contrasted with commercial broadcasting, which prioritizes advertising revenue and ratings-driven content. The public service model is seen as a way to promote cultural and social values, as well as to hold a mirror up to society and spark discussion and debate.

Yle's role in Finnish society is multifaceted, encompassing not only broadcasting but also external training of domestic and international correspondents, documentary production, enteravitational programs, international collaboration programs, coordinating development of program guidelines, and programming of interactive site and many more.
