Hallo Marcus,

I'm hesitating to respond.
Because: why me?

But: even the Netherlands have their own broadcasting and tv-stations. [ You
know: how many are we? But is this a ethically defendable answer? ]

Marching to your target, I think it is wise to interest radio- and tv-people
to get interested for your target.
And see if you can get e.g. one hour a day for 'platt'.

'Kultur in Norden'[NDR3] spend 30 minutes a day for story-telling. They
could do the same for story-telling in platt.
And they could spend some minutes for ministers and priests for spiritual
talks in platt; as they do now in hochdeutsch.
And thus the platt get an 'accepted' level.
And let reviews about platt-literature be given in platt.
The same for televison.

And very important: let the advertising-agencies make spots in platt.

Well... it is not the great revolution. But is is a 'Baustein'.
