  • A Digital Agenda1
    SRJ 35.1 v1 26/3/02 2:15 PM Page 21 A DIGITAL AGENDA1 Jock Given Abstract This article discusses progress with the introduction of digital TV and radio in Australia and the implications for Australian public service broadcasters. It argues that digital technologies provide powerful tools for the ABC and the SBS to apply to their existing activities. However, realising this potential will be expensive. It also brings with it some threats to the independence of the organizations. The article concludes by suggesting that, even if Australia’s public service broadcasters did not already exist, many of their central characteristics would be invaluable features in some organizations with a central role in the emerging media and communications landscape. These characteristics include their particular institutional structures, their size, their primary emphasis on “content,” and the comprehensiveness or inclusiveness of their mandates. Introduction This paper is primarily about Australian public service broadcasting. Thinking about its future is sometimes confused by applying to it the frames derived elsewhere, where public service broadcasters are very different. Australian public service broadcasting comprises two broadcasting institutions, the ABC and the SBS, which both offer TV and radio services and whose primary responsibilities are to offer “comprehensive” and “multicultural” services respectively. This is significantly different from even those countries with whom compar- isons are most often drawn: the UK, where all free-to-air TV broad- casters have carried “public service responsibilities” (see for example Department of National Heritage 11–13) and the “niche” broadcaster Channel 4 does not provide radio services; New Zealand, where there are separate public corporations providing TV and radio services; and Canada, where there is a single, national public service broadcaster.
