RESTORING SPIRITUALITY TO THE RAMADAN PROGRAM

Abstract

With the exception of the Federal Radio, the public broadcasters in Bosnia and Herzegovina lack the continuity in presenting religious content in their programming. In their different phases and even today, the religious programs on FTV, BHTV and BHR1 are represented by weekly variety programming. Today, even the independent radio and TV stations do not have regular programs which broadcast religious content. This situation is identical when it comes to both, the religious and Ramadan programming. The analysis of the Ramadan program, with a special look at the independent media, shows the necessity for more serious cooperation between the media and the competent agencies within the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that the Ramadan program could be assured of a more professional approach and thus, have a better effect on the public.
