From my experience, not many watch TV. Instead, people opt for the Internet. It does not change the fact popularity of Kazakh language media is declining though. I feel like a lot of TV shows are so outdated and boring no one in their right mind would sit through an episode. At least, I wouldn’t. No wonder the viewers are abandoning them. Solution?! Some young visionaries need to bring in fresh ideas on the renovation of Kazakhstani TV & other media.
Great post, including a detailed discussion of a current issue. I appreciate the way you present you argument with a brief context/problem/response introduction, followed by a systematic analysis of primary data.
One formatting point: Italicize or put in brackets your translations of the Kazakh/Russian excerpts to visually indicate that they are translations, not your narrative.
