Something inspiring in the state of Denmark
by Dr Campbell Campbell-Jack, The Conservative Woman:
We all get fed up with the BBC relentlessly promoting the progressive establishment line and downplaying references to the traditional cultures of the UK. It need not continue – the Danes have shown that it is possible to reverse the trend.
The Danish Ministry of Culture has just issued Danish Radio its official government contract for 2018-2023, which announces some pretty significant budget cuts entailing the loss of approximately 400 jobs. But that is not the most significant aspect of the contract.
The public broadcasters have been given a new set of guidelines. Their programming is now required to bolster Denmark’s native cultural heritage, as well as emphasise the foundational role of Christianity in Danish society. Danish Radio are now contracted to make clear that Danish society is based on the principles of democracy, which have their roots in Christianity.
The contract issued by the Danish Ministry of Culture on 18th September includes proposals such as:
Danish Radio ‘must strengthen its offer regarding cultural, democratic and historical values in Danish society, including a clear dissemination of Danish culture and the Danish cultural heritage. It must be clear in DR’s programmes and platforms that our society is based on people’s rule and rooted in Christianity.
‘DR must give all citizens free access to a diverse and versatile content that impartially supports the citizens’ ability to act in the Danish people’s government and strengthens Danish culture and language.’
