Crossing Borders and Boundaries in Public Service Media he seventh RIPE Reader investigates cross-boundary influences affecting public Borders and BoundariesCrossing Service in Public Media Tservice media. PSM institutions remain domestically grounded and orientated, but must cope with international influences and the impact of globalisation. This pre- sents significant environmental challenges keyed to policies that support networked communications which have important implications for the future of broadcasting. Meanwhile, internal institutional boundaries pose challenges to internal collaboration and synergy, and to achieving greater openness and cultivating public participation in PSM. Traditional boundaries between professional and non-professional production are often problematic, as well, for external collaboration. And there are enormous challenges in efforts to bridge boundaries between PSM and other public institutions (public sector), social movements (civil and volunteer sector) and companies (private sector). Cross-boundary phenomena offer tremendous opportunities for ensuring public service provision in the emerging media ecology, but managers and policy- makers must grapple with a range of dualities that require critical examination: public CROSSING / private, national / international, broadcast / print, linear / non-linear, audience / user, production / distribution, citizen / consumer, and market / society. The scholarly contributions in this volume address issues that are relevant for improved understand- BORDERS AND ings about Public Service Media Across Borders and Boundaries – a contemporary topic of keen theoretical and strategic importance.

The present collection is the culmination of discourse during and since the RIPE@2014 conference in Tokyo. The conference theme,Public Service Media Across Boundaries, was selected by Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai, NHK – the Japan Broadcasting Corporation – and it proved to be a timely, relevant issue for public service media today. The 2014 conference was the most global RIPE conference to date. Expanding horizons beyond the European and wider Western regions, where PSB has been historically strongest, has been an ambition since the initiative launched in 2000. RIPE@2014 welcomed PSM researchers from around the world, including many par- ticipants from countries without a history of public service broadcasting and where remarkable efforts are underway today. The 7th Reader includes scholarship from and about some of these countries. The conference was hosted by the Institute for Journalism, Media & Communi- cation Studies at Keio University, and sponsored by NHK. We are grateful to both institutions, and especially indebted to Nobuto Yamamoto who steered the project for Keio University and Yoshiko Nakamura who steered the project on behalf of NHK. Yamamoto was ably assisted by Shuzo Yamakoshi, and Nakamura was supported by Takanobu Tanaka, a colleague in NHK’s Broadcasting Culture Research Institute. All of us who were involved with the planning, and the participants as well, greatly appreci- ate the tremendous job they did in producing an excellent conference, and everyone enjoyed extraordinary hospitality during the event. Our RIPE@2014 experience was truly memorable. The conference benefitted from important support from other institutions also committed to democratic development and the role of media as a public service in that pursuit. We are grateful for the generous grant from the Open Society Foundations [OSF] that funded the participation of five early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Warm thanks especially to Sameer Padania and Marius Dragomir for their assistance, support and encouragement. We also appreciate involvement from 7 PREFACE the Public Media Alliance, formerly the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, and particularly appreciate Clare Hill who participated on their behalf. And we were pleased to welcome considerable contributions from the European Broadcasting Union, and in particular the excellent work of Roberto Suarez and David Fernandez from the EBU’s Media Intelligence Service. This was not only the most global of our RIPE conferences to date, but also the most networked. On behalf of the RIPE@2014 conference host and sponsors, we want to again thank the Conference Planning Group [CPG] and the RIPE Advisory Board [RAB] for all the work they contributed in producing an intellectually satisfying conference. We also appreciate the material support they received from their respective institutions that funded their voluntary involvement. The CPG members for RIPE@2014 were: Marko Ala-Fossi, University of Tampere (Finland), Minna Aslama Horowitz, St. John’s University (USA), Karen Donders, Free University of Brussels (Belgium), Michael Huntsberger, Linfield College (USA), Fiona Martin, University of Sydney (Australia), Hallvard Moe, University of Bergen (Norway), Phillip Savage, McMaster University (Canada), and Hilde Van den Bulck, University of Antwerp (Belgium). The CPG thanks all of our RAB members for their support and contributions, as well: Jo Bardoel, University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), Trisha Dunleavy, Victoria University of Wellington (Australia), Peter Dunn (Australia), Paulo Faustino, Porto University (Portugal), Taisto Hujanen, University of Tampere (Finland), John Jackson, Concordia University (Canada), Per Jauert, University of Aarhus (Denmark), Alan G. Stavitsky, University of Nevada Reno (USA), Jeanette Steemers, University of Westminster (UK), and Roberto Suarez, European Broadcasting Union (Switzerland). On behalf of everyone, we warmly thank Michael Huntsberger and Peter Dunn for doing so much work during and since the 2014 conference in producing a first series of webisodes about public service media and the RIPE initiative. Some of these are already posted on the new RIPE YouTube channel, and more are forthcoming1. During the conference Prof. Huntsberger exerted a degree of effort that was truly extraordinary. Thank you, Michael. Lowe wants to personally thank Ms. Irie Sayaka at NHK for her assistance during the conference in helping him to deal with an emergency health issue. Your gentle grace and genuine concern will always be remembered. On behalf of everyone who participated in the Tokyo conference, I’m sure we all appreciate the good work and cheerful help provided by the wonderful students of Keio University. You are stars, truly! The editors would like to thank all of the contributors to this th7 RIPE Reader. You’ve each done good work and we appreciate your patience and responsiveness

F. LEE ABSTRACT: Most observers argued that press freedom in Hong Kong has been declining continually over the past 15 years. This article examines the problem of press freedom from the perspective of the political economy of the media. According to conventional understanding, the Chinese government has exerted indirect influence over the Hong Kong media through co-opting media owners, most of whom were entrepreneurs with ample business interests in the mainland. At the same time, there were internal tensions within the political economic system. The latter opened up a space of resistance for media practitioners and thus helped the media system as a whole to maintain a degree of relative autonomy from the power centre. However, into the 2010s, the media landscape has undergone several significant changes, especially the worsening media business environment and the growth of digital media technologies.

  • Media Capture with Chinese Characteristics
    JOU0010.1177/1464884917724632JournalismBelair-Gagnon et al. 724632research-article2017 Article Journalism 1 –17 Media capture with Chinese © The Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: characteristics: Changing sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/1464884917724632DOI: 10.1177/1464884917724632 patterns in Hong Kong’s journals.sagepub.com/home/jou news media system Nicholas Frisch Yale University, USA Valerie Belair-Gagnon University of Minnesota, USA Colin Agur University of Minnesota, USA Abstract In the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, a former British territory in southern China returned to the People’s Republic as a semi-autonomous enclave in 1997, media capture has distinct characteristics. On one hand, Hong Kong offers a case of media capture in an uncensored media sector and open market economy similar to those of Western industrialized democracies. Yet Hong Kong’s comparatively small size, close proximity, and broad economic exposure to the authoritarian markets and politics of neighboring Mainland China, which practices strict censorship, place unique pressures on Hong Kong’s nominally free press. Building on the literature on media and politics in Hong Kong post-handover and drawing on interviews with journalists in Hong Kong, this article examines the dynamics of media capture in Hong Kong. It highlights how corporate-owned legacy media outlets are increasingly deferential to the Beijing government’s news agenda, while social media is fostering alternative spaces for more skeptical and aggressive voices. This article develops a scholarly vocabulary to describe media capture from the perspective of local journalists and from the academic literature on media and power in Hong Kong and China since 1997.

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.

  • Register of Journalists' Interests
    REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 11 July 2018) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £770 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass.’ Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards.
