Extractions: Public broadcasting is arguably the single most important social, cultural, and journalistic institution of the twentieth century. In the past 15 years it has been assaulted politically, ideologically, technologically, and is everywhere in retreat. This book considers the "idea" of public service broadcasting and examines in detail the assault made upon it.

Extractions: In the face of stiff competition from commercial broadcasters and now the House of Lords, the nation's broadcaster is at risk of selling out to commerciality its once highly regarded reputation and well grounded principles. Following the Queen's speech last month, in which the government's Office of Communications (Ofcom) Bill was announced, as an attempt to protect public service broadcasting, it is apparent that its ethos is severely threatened by commercial challenges. The bill, published on 13 July, is to have a second reading in the House of Lords on 15 October, the day that Parliament resembles after the summer break. The Lords plan to press for the government to bring the BBC under Ofcom regulation as well, with the aim of creating a level playing field for all broadcasters and to protect its reputation. Although it may be a temporary solution to a potentially global problem, the bill is already meeting opposition from several viewers' organisations and trade unions, including the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), who are concerned about job losses, media diversity and the protection of the public interest. Senior BBC employees have also expressed fears toward government regulation. Those who care for the future of public service broadcasting and the promotion of independent film and programme productions now realise that their principles are up against powerful commercial and political interests.

Barry Cox Calls For An End To Public Service Broadcasting? - January 27, 2003 -
currybetdotnet return to home. barry cox callsfor an end to public service broadcasting?
http://www.currybet.net/archives/000028.shtml

Extractions: currybetdotnet homepage barry cox argues in todays mediaguardian that it may be time to axe what he calls the bbc's poll tax - arguing that the provision of public service broadcasting can be maintained in a digital micro-payment or subscription environment. he also questions the longevity of the sky practice of bundling a whole package of unwanted channels together just so you can access the premium channels. however in a stratified digital television market solely consisting of niche pay-per-view channels you simply won't stumble across the life of mammals - because it is unlikely there would be an initial investment to make it, and even if their was, unless you subscribe to a national geographic style channel you wouldn't be exposed to it. and the market principle works all very well for adults, but how do children get to see and be introduced to potentially enjoying public service provisions like drama, music, arts, historical or religious programming, if their parents only subscribe on their behalf to the american wrestling and cartoon networks, and on their own behalf to eastenders and corrie? most of the guardian's messageboard seem to agree.

Extractions: The essential nature of public service broadcasting is frequently described in terms of the trinity espoused by the first Director-General of the BBC, Lord Reith - to inform, educate and entertain. It was a ringing declaration in its day, and was issued with the confidence that accompanied an unchallenged monopoly in an era of technological immaturity. No broadcaster today, public or commercial, is in a position to invoke the Reithian formula as its sole preserve. There are too many broadcasting services supplying elements of information, education and entertainment to various sectors of the audience for such a claim to be credible. What is clear, though, is that there is a widespread approval and desire for broadcasting whose defining characteristics are not determined by market or commercial conditions alone. No discussion about the roles of public and commercial broadcasting proceeds very far before someone demands a definition of public service broadcasting. Sometimes this call for clarity is genuine and disinterested. But frequently it is the opening shot in a campaign to reduce the scope and ultimately the re s o u rces of public service broadcasting: the definition that is being sought is limiting and restrictive, rather than clarifying and liberating. Nowhere in our national law or in the policy and legislation of the European Union is there a definition of public service broadcasting, or of what constitutes a public service programme, although the question is endlessly debated. What we do have in law is a set of obligations prescribed as appropriate for television and radio channels with a public service character. This recognises the reality that the question to be asked is not "what is the definition of public service broadcasting?" but rather "what are the goals of public policy in broadcasting in this society now and in the medium term ? " The question is no longer one of definition. Instead, it is about the appropriate scope for public policy to intervene in the broadcasting market. The intervention takes the form of specifying obligations to the public interest and conferring them on particular broadcasting organisations.

Media | Jackson: 'public Service Broadcasting Is Dead'
Jackson 'public service broadcasting is dead' We might regret it, but peopleare no longer enthused by the altruism of public service broadcasting.
http://media.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4289356,00.html

Extractions: The Guardian Channel 4's chief executive, Michael Jackson, is leaving with a bang, declaring public service broadcasting is dead in the water. In a controversial speech tonight, he will urge broadcasters to use "innovation" as the "new gold standard of British broadcasting". He brands public service broadcasting as "the pointless juju stick of British broadcasting", a term "now drained of all purpose and meaning". "It's time for us to do an emperor's news clothes on this venerable piece of hokum," he will add. "The words 'public' and 'service' both got badly pummelled in the 1990s. 'Public' seemed second rate, while 'service' seemed paternalistic. "We might regret it, but people are no longer enthused by the altruism of public service broadcasting. Instead, they demand good programmes, channels and websites, as defined by them." In the place of public service broadcasting, Mr Jackson will argue that a "new language and new ideas" are needed "to make the case for intervention in the market and to win public support for it". "We need a new, more open mantra that reveals the essence of good television, one that guides our regulators and producers through the teeming, evolving space between the screen and the audience," he will say tonight, delivering the New Statesman media lecture for 2001 in London.

Extractions: Faktablad och broschyrer I samtliga nordiska länder pågår förberedelser inför en övergång från analog till digital teknik avseende radio- och TV-sändningar. De nordiska länderna har kommit olika långt när det gäller införandet av digital distribution. Det nordiska samarbetet har emellertid påbörjats, bland annat angående arbetet med att utveckla gemensamma specifikationer för mottagarutrustning av de digitala sändningarna. Utöver de tekniska och ekonomiska frågeställningarna förs diskussioner också om hur det framtida programinnehållet kommer att se ut i och med utvecklingen av nya digitala medier. En mycket väsentlig fråga är public service-verksamhetens ställning vid övergången till digitala sändningar. Det är viktigt att de nordiska länderna för fram sin syn på vad som viktigt i mediepolitiken då EU:s mediepolitik utformas. För att granska utvecklingen inom digital rundradioverksamhet ur ett nordiskt perspektiv anordnade Nordiska Ministerrådet, i samarbete med Rundradion, konferensen "Public service broadcasting i den digitala framtiden" . Konferensen ägde rum i Helsingfors den 19-20 februari 1998. Föreliggande rapport ger ett referat av konferensen och är sammanställd ur ett allmänt nordiskt perspektiv. Även engelsk sammanfattning.

Extractions: In the last few weeks, two controversial stories about the ABC have been leaked to the press. In January, it was reported that the Minister for Communications, Richard Alston, had written to the ABC's Chairman, Donald McDonald, specifying certain performance goals the ABC should commit itself to as the quid pro quo for government funding over the next three years. It's what the government calls accountability.

Extractions: No. 6, Spring/Summer 2001 Issue 6 home page Return to current issue Archives main page Reviews Asian Media Information and Communication Centre (1999). Public Service Broadcasting in Asia: Surviving in the New Information Age. Reviewed by Pieter Wessels, independent broadcast journalist, Sydney, Australia Every broadcaster in the world wants to know where new technology is taking them. This book comprises 20 articles written two years ago by broadcasters from Japan to Indonesia and from Pakistan to the Philippines on this subject. There is an emphasis on Southeast Asia, but overviews from the UK and Canada are included as well. All are on public service broadcasting, which is defined by ABU head Hugh Leonard in his paper as "programming transmitted in the interests of the public programming that provides some sort of service to the public." Each paper gives some idea of the history of such broadcasting in Pakistan, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, and Korea and goes on to the present situation and concerns. Overall the biggest concern is the inevitable conflict and comparison with commercial broadcasting, followed closely by where public service broadcasting can or must go in the digital and new media age. These changes are the major impetus behind the book, according to AMIC Secretary General Vijay Menon. He ends the introduction by saying that the developing rural economies of Asia still need public service broadcasting, and because of this it is not likely to become extinct. Marc Raboy of the University of Montreal agrees in his long, well written, and carefully referenced paper "The World Situation of Public Service Broadcasting." This article alone makes the book worth the money. Hugh Leonard narrows the view to an Asian focus with a paper "The Challenge of Public Service Broadcasting." His plea for new programming, entertaining programs, and for the role of radio even in the face of the new technology is passionate.
