CRTV, the state broadcaster, has a board of administrators appointed by decree of the President of the Republic. The board represents the state and is not answerable to society at large. Members are picked at the President’s discretion, and usually without broad consultation. Traditionally, the minister of communication is the chairman of the board. Even though the general manager of the CRTV sits in on board meetings, he is not a board member and only serves as rapporteur.
