Sveriges Radio Ethnic Minority Service SR International återkoppling SR International ti har under vintern 2005 tagit fram ett antal kvalitets- t och hinnehålls begrepp, med vidhängande definitioner, som talar om hur SR International ska låta och vara. Det handlar alltså om hela kanalen och hela program, och inte de enskilda inslagen enbart. De flesta begrepp är dock användbara ÄVEN på enskilda inslag. 1. Relevanta Inom ramen för redaktionen uppdrag och nyhets- och programpolicy tar vi upp ämnen som har betydelse för lyssnaren. Betydelsen måste vara synlig i inslaget/programmet. Vi sätter innebörden i ett sammanhang 2. Informativa Vi ger upplysningar och presenterar fakta i ett sammanhang som gör det möjligt för lyssnaren och nå ny kunskap och bredare insikt 3. Förutsättningslös Ta reda på saker utan att i förväg ha en bestämd ståndpunkt/åsikt i frågan eller för inslaget 4. Varierat Våra program ska ta upp många olika ämnen i många olika former och med många olika röster 5. Närvarande I programmen tilltalar vi alla sinnen och låter engagerade och fokuserade 6. Ljudmålande Vi skildrar med berättande och ljudillustrationer
