Results of the Board Meeting
San Francisco, 1 & 2 September 2011
Together with the representatives of INPUT 2012 in Sydney, the International Board of INPUT has discussed the programme for the first Australian INPUT conference.
It has been decided unanimously to endow each INPUT conference a special alignment - by putting certain TV genres into the focus. These TV genres will alternate each year.
INPUT National Coordinators are kindly asked to take this into consideration when selecting programmes for INPUT 2012 on the respecitive national level.
For INPUT 2012 the focus will be on
1. TV Cultural entertainment and Arts
Performing arts and popular culture, including programmes about the arts, cultural magazines, and history.
2. TV Current Affairs and Factual programmes - but not artistic documentaries
