Extractions: European Public Sector Broadcasting is in Robust Shape - Despite the Rise of Multi-Channel TV and the Advertising Slump A new report published by Screen Digest, written by IsICult (Istituto Italiano per L'Industria Culturale) and based on an ongoing study commissioned by Rai Marketing Direction, is the first comprehensive study of the state of public service and free to air commercial broadcasting in UK, Germany, France and Spain. A relatively encouraging picture of Europe's public service television industry emerges from the report - an industry that appears to be in reasonably robust shape. Between 2001 and 2002, public sector broadcasters took advantage of the difficulties that Europe's commercial, free-to-air TV groups were experiencing. Whilst the commercial television groups were all hit hard by the advertising recession, public sector broadcasters all improved their standing against their traditional competitors.

| OfcomWatch |: Funding Public Service Broadcasting Funding public service broadcasting. Ofcom urged to address funding issues comprehensively in Phase 3 The voluntary sector coalition, Public Voice, http://www.ofcomwatch.co.uk/2005/01/funding-public-service-broadcasting
Extractions: Public Voice is concerned that the Phase 2 report contains a number of apparently separate ideas on funding individual components of the system, as well as a variety of suggested funding mechanisms. The outcome could be that the public service providers compete with or undermine each other in the fight for funding. Three separate consultation questions raise issues of funding: for the BBC, for Channel 4, and for the proposed 'Public Service Publisher'. In addition, Public Voice wants Ofcom to consider the not-for-profit community media sector at national, regional and local levels as part of the public service mix.
Extractions: The group was appointed by Jowell to assist in her review of the BBC's royal charter. The final report dealt with the question of how the BBC should be run and regulated. Three previous reports identified key issues to the BBC's survival what it's for, how it must adapt to cope with cultural and technological changes, and how it should be paid for. In today's final report, the panel said the advantages of the broadcaster's current system of governance (maintenance of political independence and ensuring distinctive, high-quality radio and TV broadcasting), used to outweigh the disadvantages (vague line of responsibility, lack of openness and transparency, among others), but "the world is changing." The dual role of BBC governors "as both critical friend of management and defenders of the BBC on the one hand, and providing public interest oversight of the licence fee money on the other" rely on voluntary behavioral changes and don't go far enough, said Terry Burns, Jowell's independent advisor on charter review.
Extractions: As a result, the majority of Ukrainians have heard about public service television, nevertheless they have not the foggiest idea of what it means. Unfortunately, even some of the experts, who offer their own conceptions of creating public service television, are not informed adequately about the Europian experience.
Extractions: This was published in IRISH COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW (Vol 2 1992). In response to a number of requests, including those who have found this article torn out of the copy in DCU library, I am putting it on the web. The defense of public service broadcasting has become so unfashionable in recent years. Despite an international climate bearing down upon its economic base from without and an erosion of its ethos from within, I seem to be among the ever dwindling number who still defend it. My first experience of the European tradition of public service broadcasting came after two decades of listening to radio and watching television exclusively within the American tradition of commercial broadcasting. I therefore have tended to see it in sharper relief than those who grew up taking it for granted. For two decades now I have marveled at the sort of radio and television it made possible and I have been distressed at the strength of the forces moving against it. The pressures building up against public service broadcasting have been tied to the pressures building up against the public service generally. It has been part of the global push to privatisation, bringing the dismantling of the public sector, with its concomitant in the eighties mood of glorification of entrepreneurial spirit, of individualist acquisitiveness, of cynicism in relation to higher ideals and social movements.

Extractions: Response by National Union of Journalists This is the response of the National Union of Journalists to your letter, dated 5 December 2003, requesting our views for your review of public service television broadcasting. This response is part of your wide ranging and lengthy consultation and our views are provisional at this stage, as we will be engaging in the debate throughout the year and respond in full at a later stage. We hope that the Ofcom review will be transparent, contrasting with the approach often taken by the former ITC. We welcome the view expressed that Ofcom should hold public hearings to discuss changes to the ITV licences and would encourage a strong level of transparency in the PSTB review. We welcome the point in the letter soliciting views "on how public service broadcasting can be maintained and strengthened" but would like to make one initial comment on the scope of the review, based on the information in your letter, and suggest that this is too narrow. Clearly public service broadcasting (PSB) also has some impact on radio, most importantly for the BBC, but also for commercial broadcasters in terms of news provision and other programming requirements. In terms of future policy-making we think this important sector of broadcasting should be included in any review. However if the Communications act specifies that the review should be restricted to television Ofcom should provide a mechanism to conduct a similar exercise for radio.

This means that it is also very applicable to NGOs, academics in the field, and those interested in consumer needs. This conference is based in London and looks specifically at Public Service Broadcasting in the UK; but includes perspectives on how organisations such as the BBC fit into the bigger picture of Public Service Broadcasting as a European and global phenomenon
