Radio and Television of Slovakia

Funding for the combined organisation is obtained through advertising, government payments, and a monthly fee levied on most individuals registered with electricity retailers and most businesses containing three or more employees.
Like its two predecessor organizations, RTVS is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union.

News and objectivity.
During the term of the General Director Václav Mika (2012–2017), the content and graphics of the news have changed significantly, with minor modifications it is still used today. The title also included the RTVS brand - "Správy RTVS". The news broadcasting programmes were initially struggling with very low audience - in December 18, 2012 only with 7,8% share.
Over time, the audience began to grow, and RTVS news has started to appear as the most objective news in TV in public opinion surveys, with exceptions lasting by now. However, after the election of Jaroslav Reznik as General Director in 2017, who was nominated by SNS party, which was in government, the situation in the newsroom has changed. A new head of the news section has been appointed, under whose leadership, according to most of the journalists, the content of the news was being manipulated. The tense atmosphere led to the departure of a dozen journalists in 2018. More and more space in the news was reserved to the SNS party officials, including journeys of Andrej Danko, the party leader, serving till 2020 as Speaker of the parliament, to Russia. The topic of his plagiarism in rigorous work was also not addressed in the main part of the news.
After the parliamentary elections in 2020 and the new government appointed, news too favorable towards the governmental or oppositional parties seem to not appearing anymore, nonetheless some of the content is still being manipulated. For example in the programme "Reportéri", reports about plagiarism of several publicly known persons were not aired.
