Regaining the Initiative for Public Service Media Regaining the Initiative for Public Service Media Public service media is today challenged on every front. Publics and politicians see the commercial approach as the ‘normal’ way to organise broadcasting. There are strong pressures to downsize PSM organisations, to limit investment options, to restrict online and digital operations, to narrow remits to genres and for audiences that are not commercially attractive, and for increasingly intrusive assessment procedures. The principles no longer resonate very widely and there is growing criticism about a Regaining decline in distinctiveness. Even among traditional allies, support is flagging and skepticism is growing. In Europe the institution has not yet presented a coherent and convincing strategy attuned for relevance in the 21st century. PSM has lost or is in danger of losing the the Initiative for initiative. At the same time, there are promising efforts to develop PSM in regions and countries lacking a domestic history with PSB – to gain the initiative for building PSM. This 5th RIPE Reader incorporates a wider purview as an outgrowth of proceedings from the RIPE@2010 conference that convened in London 8-11 September to address Public Service Media the theme, Public Service Media After the Recession. The book is divided into four sections, reflecting the varied and distinctive narratives of PSB around the world. Gregory Ferrell Lowe & Jeanette Steemers (eds.)

As always, the experience of working with Ulla Carlsson and her team has been productive and enjoyable. The RIPE community is grateful for the consistent quality and increasing importance this series has achieved since the first book was published in 2003. We thank the chapter contributors for their work and patience during the thirteen months this volume has been in production. Our editorial demands were often high, and sometimes complicated. Every author gave her or his best professional effort to address every request for further development. Together we have produced a tightly focused and cohesive result. The fifth Reader is the final result of the RIPE@2010 conference, which was about Public Service Media After the Recession. The title of this Reader reflects the focus of discourse during the conference, the importance of Regaining the Initiative for Public Service Media. This is also the most global Reader produced, reflecting the growing interest in public service media beyond its historic grounding in Western Europe. We want to thank the sponsors and hosts. The fifth conference was hosted by the Communication and Media Research Institute [CAMRI] at the University of Westminster and sponsored by the BBC together with the UK Office of Communications, Ofcom. The conference was excellent in every respect, intellectually, professional, socially and as a cultural experience. Our thanks, as well, to the staff of the Tate Modern for the open gallery tour and a delicious gala dinner. On behalf of the conference host and sponsors, we want to especially thank the Conference Planning Group [CPG] and RIPE Advisory Board [RAB], and their home institutions for the funding and other supports necessary to their involve- ment. In alphabetical order, the CPG members for the RIPE@2010 conference were Helen Normoyle for the BBC and James Thickett for Ofcom, Alessandro D’Arma and Peter Goodwin for the University of Westminster, Gunn Enli for 7 PREFACE the University of Oslo, Norway, Michael Huntsberger for Linfield College in the USA, Eva Pujadas for Pompeu Fabra University in Spain, Phillip Savage for McMaster University in Canada, and Alan G. Stavitsky for the George Turnbull Center at the University of Oregon in the USA. The CPG thanks the RAB for their help and support: Minna Aslama for Fordham University in the USA, Jo Bardoel for the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Anne Dunn for the University of Sydney in Australia, Taisto Hujanen for the University of Tampere in Finland, John Jackson for Concor- dia University in Canada, Per Jauert for the University of Aarhus in Denmark, Lucy Küng for the Jönköping International Business School in Sweden, Helena Sousa for the University of Minho in Portugal, and Hilde van den Bulck for the University of Antwerp in Belgium. Finally, we all want to especially thank Helen Cohen at the University of Westminster and Charlene Prempeh at the BBC for making everything happen – on time and in proper order. Thanks very much indeed for your good and effective work in herding this bunch of cats! This fifth RIPE Reader is funded by CAMRI at the University of Westminster and the Graduate Studies Programme in Media Management at the University of Tampere. We are pleased to announce the RIPE@2012 conference will take place in Sydney, Australia on 5-7 September. The sixth conference is sponsored by ABC Australia and will be hosted by the University of Sydney.

That has long been the case in countries where the institution wasn’t strong to begin with. In the United States PSB only started after 1967 and has been under attack by the political right ever since (Stavitsky & Huntsberger 2010; Avery 2005; Engelman 1996). In central and eastern Europe where democracy is more recent, popular support has typically been weak and political meddling high because of historic association with state broadcasting (see Broughton- Micova in this volume; also Jakubowicz 2006a & 2004). That is also the case in parts of southern Europe where there was military dictatorship (Lowe & Nissen 2011). But today the problem is most striking in northwest Europe – the historic heartland of PSB. In Germany PSB corporations have been forced to withdraw online services and embrace a version of Britain’s public value test (Radoslav & Thomass 2010; Schultz 2008). The BBC has been radically challenged since the election of a Conservative-led coalition in 2010. Under the pretext of economic austerity and within a mere 48-hours, the Government imposed a licence fee freeze until 2017, along with additional responsibilities for funding the BBC World Service, S4C and BBC Monitoring. All of that was done without public consulta- tion or Parliamentary involvement (for analysis, see the chapters by Levy and by Goodwin). In Finland a challenge to the licence fee has been percolating since 2009 (Ala-Fossi & Hujanen 2010; Ala-Fossi forthcoming). In this volume, Lars Nord’s assessment of debate over public service media [PSM] in Denmark, Norway and Sweden would suggest some concerted effort by the commercial sector to hamper PSM development. Right across Europe the public sector in media is caught in ‘a perfect storm’. Although dark clouds are nothing new, the magnitude of this storm is stronger and more threatening. The 60+ experts who convened for the RIPE@2010 conference in London concluded that longer-term trends and pressures have converged to a remark- able degree in the context of economic recession.

The joint declaration was initiated by the Steering Committee of PRIX EUROPA, which unites the 21 broadcasters. Potsdam Declaration, 19 October 2018 (full wording) by the 21 broadcasters from the PRIX EUROPA Steering Committee: In times such as ours, with increased polarization, populism and fixed positions, public broadcasters have a vital role to play across Europe. It has never been more important to carry on offering audiences a wide variety of voices and opinions and to look at complex processes from different angles. Impartial news and information that everyone can trust, content that reaches all audiences, that offers all views and brings communities together. Equally important: Public broadcasters make the joys of culture and learning available to everyone, regardless of income or background.

  • Local TV Summary of Responses to the Local Media Action Plan
    Local TV Summary of responses to the Local Media Action Plan June 2011 1 Our aim is to improve the quality of life for all through cultural and sporting activities, support the pursuit of excellence, and champion the tourism, creative and leisure industries. 2 Local TV Introduction 1. In January 2011, DCMS published a Local Media Action Plan1 setting out options for the creation of a new network of local television services. This plan followed the Shott Review published in December 20102 which looked at the conditions necessary for commercially viable local TV to emerge in the UK. 2. The Local Media Action Plan invited expressions of interest from groups and organisations that had an interest in providing a network channel that would carry and support local services. In addition, DCMS invited comments and views on a range of other questions around provision of local TV. 3. In total, DCMS received 140 responses to the action plan. This was made up of 21 expressions of interest in operating some form of network channel (ranging from centralised models to not-for-profit models to locally owned models); 43 expressions of interest in providing a range of local services; 5 expressions of interest in providing nations-based (i.e. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland specific) services; and 71 responses offering comments on the local TV policy proposition more generally. 4. A summary of the responses are set out at Annex A. A list of those who responded is set out at Annex B. Key considerations in determining the Local TV model 5. The Secretary of State’s objectives for local TV are a key part of the Government’s localism agenda.

  • Ivision and the BBC: Building Public Value
    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, 5 (2008), 041-055 1646-5954/ERC123483/2008 041 iVision and the BBC: Building Public Value Michael Klontzas, City University, London, UK Abstract Breaking with conventional wisdom that sees public service broadcasters as conveyors of content in line with historically shaped socio-political ideals, centred on quality, access, diversity and independence, evidence suggests that PSB is often the driving force behind key technological innovations serving public policy aims. In the drive towards wholesale digitalisation and the accelerated introduction of an information society, this hitherto understated function is now deemed critical and comes to the fore. More specifically, recent public policy initiatives in the UK, culminating to the 2006 White Paper, openly assign the mission of contributing to the process of ‘building digital Britain’ to the BBC, the flagship public service broadcaster. This vision of digitalisation is defined in broad terms in the policy discourse, as involving all platforms indiscriminately. The BBC’s contribution, designed to entice users to a digital future and simultaneously cement the continued relevancy of the institution in the 21st century, finds expression in a variety of implemented and proposed digital services deliverable over a range of digital platforms, including television and radio, the internet and mobile networks. This paper seeks to interrogate the host of controversial and closely scrutinised internet services offered by the BBC in the light of the digital vision articulated in the public policy discourse. These services shift the emphasis away from the time-honoured broadcasting paradigm to a more interactive approach. Through widespread application of emerging Web 2.0 practices, the users are now invited to participate, and generate and share their own content.
