Public Broadcasters, the Internet, and Democracy Comparing Policy and Exploring Public Service Media Online Hallvard Moe Dissertation for the degree philosophiae doctor (PhD) University of Bergen Abstract This thesis is a study of public service broadcasting facing a digital media system. Its focus is on internet services since the mid-1990s. With a comparative design, the thesis discusses how public service broadcasters seized opportunities and handled challenges related to the internet, and how national and supranational regulatory regimes and policy actors coped with public service broadcasting venturing online. I concentrate on publicly owned former monopolists, assessing four such institutions in three states: the British BBC, Norway’s NRK, and the ARD and the ZDF in Germany. I argue that traditional practices of media policy do not suddenly change in the digital era. Rather, settings for public service are to a large extent still defined within well-established frameworks, and dependent on the conditioned legacies of each state’s political culture. Discussing similarities and differences in the development of the institutions’ inter- net activities, and their corresponding national regulations, I find the de- velopment characterized by ad hoc solutions. This also applies to the EU policy regime, built on a competition law-logic. With the latter regime, I argue, we are incapable of grasping the autonomous democratic func- tions of public broadcasters’ online services. Moreover, the regime pro- vides insufficient space to play out national differences. The thesis goes on to explore the democratic functions of public broadcasting institutions in an online environment. With a founding in normative public sphere theory, I contend that there is a potential in on- line communication not only for dialogue, but also for dissemination. Both communicative forms should be utilized by public service actors in ways that consistently counter processes of enclosure and balkanization in the public sphere. On this basis, I develop a scheme for public service media online. By scrutinizing marginal parts of the cases’ internet activities I lastly explore this scheme, and the limits of public broadcast- ers’ publicly funded online offers. Thereby, I aim to revitalize discussions about the functions of public service as a media policy tool in the digital era. In my view, public service media remain relevant. The thesis sub- stantiates why, and outlines how. Sammendrag Denne avhandlingen er en studie av allmennkringkasting i møte med et digitalt mediesystem. Avhandlingen fokuserer på utviklingen av internet- tjenester siden midten av 1990-tallet. Med et komparativt design ana- lyserer jeg hvordan allmennkringkastere utnyttet mulighetene og hånd- terte utfordringene knyttet til internetts framvekst. Videre undersøker jeg hvordan nasjonale og overnasjonale regulatoriske regimer og politiske aktører taklet allmennkringkasternes bestrebelser på internett. I de komparative analysene konsentrerer jeg meg om offentlig eide tidligere monopolister: BBC i Storbritannia, norske NRK og Tysklands ARD og ZDF. Jeg argumenterer for at tradisjonelle mediepolitiske praksiser ikke plutselig forandres i møte med digital teknologi. Allmennkringkasternes vilkår defineres fortsatt innen veletablerte rammeverk, avhengig av nasjonale politiske kulturers særtrekk. Den komparative analysen av allmennkringkasternes internettjenester og deres nasjonale reguleringer viser at utviklingen har vært preget av ad hoc løsninger. Dette gjelder også for EUs regime, som er basert på en konkurranselovgivningslogikk. Jeg viser hvordan EU-regimet ikke gir tilstrekkelig rom for nasjonale ulikheter. Med utgangspunkt i et slikt regime klarer vi heller ikke å gripe det demokratiske potensialet i allmennkringkasternes internettjenester. Avhandlingen fortsetter med en utforskning av hvilke demokra- tiske funksjoner allmennkringkasterinstitusjonene kan inneha på inter- nett. Med normativ offentlighetsteori som grunnlag argumenterer jeg for at det er et potensial i internettbasert kommunikasjon, ikke bare for dia- log, men også for disseminering. Begge kommunikasjonsformer bør ut- nyttes av allmennkringkastingsaktører på en måte som motvirker inn- hegninger i, og balkanisering av, offentligheten. Jeg utvikler så et forslag til hva allmennmedier på internett kan bestå av. Til slutt tester jeg dette forslaget, og grensene for institusjonenes offentlig finansierte aktiviteter, gjennom en diskusjon av tre marginale internettjenester fra case’ene. Målet er å revitalisere diskusjoner om allmennkringkasting som et poli- tisk verktøy. Etter mitt syn forblir allmennkringkasting relevant. Avhan- dlingen underbygger hvorfor, og viser hvordan.

    Press Release Potsdam 19.10.2018 Potsdam Declaration signed by 21 public broadcasters from Europe “In times such as ours, with increased polarization, populism and fixed positions, public broadcasters have a vital role to play across Europe.” A joint statement, emphasizing the inclusive rather than divisive mission of public broadcasting, will be signed on Friday 19th October 2018 in Potsdam. Cilla Benkö, Director General of Sveriges Radio and President of PRIX EUROPA, and representatives from 20 other European broadcasters are making their appeal: “The time to stand up for media freedom and strong public service media is now. Our countries need good quality journalism and the audiences need strong collective platforms”. The act of signing is taking place just before the Awards Ceremony of this year’s PRIX EUROPA, hosted by rbb in Berlin and Potsdam from 13-19 October under the slogan “Reflecting all voices”. 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.

    Sammendrag Denne oppgaven setter søkelys på utbredelsen og bruk av internett over bredbåndstilkoblinger i norske hustander og bedrifter. I oppgaven beskrives ett paradigmeskifte for tradisjonelle formidlingsvirksomheter innen nyhets- og underholdningsmedieformidling. Internett som verktøy viser til å ha endret spillereglene i interaksjonen mellom formidlingsvirksomheter og deres kunder. Mange aktører leter etter nye, effektive og lønnsomme organisasjonsstrukturer for å møte den nye hverdagen. Utviklingstrekkene som synes klare i denne oppgaven er at man går mer og mer i retning av at produksjon og konsumpsjon av innhold i stadig større grad blir digitalisert. Samtidig er en modnet gruppe av internettbruker i ferd med å ta del i å skape sin egen nyhets og underholdningshverdag. Dette har delvis kommet som en årsak av tilgjengeligheten til internett, som er høy, og delvis ved at stadig flere produkter og tjenester orienterer seg mot internett som formidlings- og salgskanal. Oppgaven viser til en rekke eksempler på selskaper, tjenester og applikasjoner som over de siste 5 årene har vert med å prege utviklingsretningen. Videre presenteres noen konsepter og applikasjoner som kan være med å prege den fremtidige utviklingen. Avslutningsvis blir det gitt en skisse over de endringer i organisasjonsstruktur og tilordning til markedene moderne formidlingsvirksomheter i en media 2.0 hverdag kan ta inn over seg og planlegge i sine effektiviserings- og restruktureringsplaner som er aktuelle med hensyn på konjunktursvingninger som skyldes finanskrisen

  • Nordic Drama
    NORDIC DRAMA PUBLIC SERVICE ORIGINALS A stronger Nordic public service drama collaboration The Nordic public service media companies DR, NRK, RUV, SVT and Yle have in recent years been renowned for outstanding Nordic drama productions. High quality drama with a clear local anchoring and strong public service ambitions has become one of our distinguishing trademarks. To ensure that strong, local drama remains a trademark of the Nordic public service broadcasters in a digital world, the Nordvision partners have decided to build a stronger public service drama portfolio. A strengthening that will increase both the volume of Nordic drama that each company have available on their “players” as well as the quality of the publishing right the partners secure for each other. A clear focus on drama that reflects a Nordic culture, reality and identity fits naturally with the public service mission, and it provides a genuine and recognizable promise to the users that sets Nordic public service apart from other content providers. The initiative is called “Nordic Twelve” (N12). What is N12? N12 – is a yearly package of 12 Nordic drama series with 12 month of rights in the Nordic region. In the following you can find all the N12 drama series: N12 - 2018, N12 - 2019, and some drama series from N12 - 2020. The Nordic partners also co-produce between 8 and 10 young adult drama series a year.
