Criticisms and controversies

Since the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia reform referendum, including the 2006 Generalitat elections and the June 2007 municipal elections, all the electoral information during a campaign broadcasted by TV3 news programs is unsigned in protest of TV3 (and most Catalonian) reporters to the rules that assign the air time of each political party and the order they air in the order of electoral seats (the more seats, the more airtime and first on air) and not based in objective and professional criteria. Documentary film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt in one fashion or another to " Document " reality The Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia provides Catalonia's basic institutional regulations A referendum (plural referendums or referenda) ballot question, or plebiscite (from Latin plebiscita Elections to the Parliament of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain, were held on November 1 2006.

Presentation

TV3 has had three different logos in her twenty-something years. The first one consisted of the word "TV3", with the 3 done as it was made with a flag with the colors of the senyera, Catalonia's flag. The Senyera (roughly meaning "signal flag" in Catalan) is a Vexillological symbol based on the Coat of arms of the Crown of Aragon That logo was created by the Ogilvy advertising agency. [12] In 1993, the logo was changed due to functional and strategic necessities. The new logo was designed by Josep M. Trias[12] and dropped the "TV" letters to focus on a 3 and a triangle made of four lines that also represented the senyera. This logo evolved again in 2005 into the current logo, that strengthens the presence of the 3, from the hand of the advertising agency Gédeón, which won the designing contest. [12]
