The idea that RTSH should be closed is as old as some of its programs. It is the common refrain of a society that, faced with every problem, thinks with scissors: "Cut it!"
But the real challenge is not to shut it down, but to bring it back to life. Not in a life of television zombies reading from a teleprompter, but in a public media, belonging to... the public.
Today more than ever, there is a need for a screen that does not measure success by clicks, that does not serve parties, but the public, and that does not see the viewer as a consumer of memes.
Closing is a popular sport, everyone knows how to do it. But building something that raises the cultural and informative level is an elite sport; not out of arrogance, but out of the desire and thirst for quality in a sea of ??pettiness and mediocrity.
Evil is always faster, louder, more colorful, more viral, even more interesting if you like. But that's no reason to surrender the flag.
Yes, banality has become a luxury, sold everywhere, drunk with energy drinks and dressed up with English words. But in a country where finesse seems like a spelling mistake, RTSH can and has the potential to become a haven of reason, dignity and intelligence.
Yes, there is a lot of dust on RTSH, but dust cannot be removed with a bulldozer. It takes cleaning, vision, and above all: courage not to fall short.
Because when everything else is screaming, like crazy people who have been fooled, someone needs to say something sensible. And if that doesn't come from public television, then who do you expect it to come from?
So it should be given a chance, even more so in times when logic seems to have taken the usual leave!
