Journalism
Greek term or phrase: χρεωκοπημένος
Με την αλλαγή κυβέρνησης καλούνται το 1991 από τη διοίκηση της ΕΡΤ εμπειρογνώμονες του BBC για την αναδιάρθρωση του φορέα, οι οποίοι ακολουθούν τις προτάσεις του 1975 που είχε υποβάλει ο Green και μάλιστα αποφαίνονται ότι ο κρατικός φορέας είναι «ουσιαστικά χρεωκοπημένος» . Οι ριζοσπαστικές προτάσεις τους προκαλούν αναστάτωση και διαμάχες μεταξύ του προσωπικού της ΕΡΤ, που καταλήγουν στη μετάταξη 800 υπαλλήλων και στην κατάργηση κάποιων περιφερειακών προγραμμάτων
