But it is not a one-sided process. Don&#8217;t let the viewer think that they will see changes on the TV screen by sitting on the couch at home\u2026 It is a reciprocal process.

And in a few points, he outlines the positive changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Educational and cultural programs have become more accurate, separated from show business,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Government decisions are not only covered but also clarified, interpreted and discussed through debates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public TV journalists are freer and can ask questions without restraint,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">taboo topics have disappeared,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The essence of entertainment programs has changed, especially in soap operas, which will be based on literary works.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;The public is an active participant in the initiatives implemented on the platform of Public Television. I mean the nationwide events,&#8221; Ara Shirinyan cites the days of Francophonie, the marathon, the April 24 concert, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the past, the channel only covered, and now it is a participant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We are just programmed to feel the public reaction,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking about the difference between public demand and public interest, he said, &#8220;It simply came to our notice then. Public interest is a well-established category, and public demand is strong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ara Shirinyan also mentions the coverage of government initiatives during the pandemic as a conscious work of the public interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And he assured, &#8220;Public TV, even in its increased information period, has enough programs that have the opportunity to recognize the country and present new changes to the Armenian people. We have many such programs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ara Shirinyan also talks about advertising (the return of which is an obligatory step for Public TV towards healthy competition), the second sales house (which both exists and does not exist at the same time) and the competition for the executive director of the Public Service (a special tender commission will be set up to ensure that the board has the right to elect its own executive director.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Many people think that it is possible to come from the streets and lead Public Television. This is not so. That position requires excellent knowledge, skills, high professionalism\u2026 In this case, we simply have to choose the best,\u201d concluded Ara Shirinyan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><b>Gegham Vardanyan<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ara Shirinyan, Chairman of the Board of the Public Television and Radio Company, is convinced that a lot has changed in Public TV, but those changes remain unnoticed.
