Extractions: Speaking in the Seanad on 7 February 2001, on the 2nd Stage of the Broadcasting Bill, 1999 , I said: This Bill has challenged me because when I looked at it I had to remove the commercial deregulation hat that I normally wear. I had not thought through the benefits, success and objectives of public service broadcasting. With the arrival of digital broadcasting, the way we structure our broadcasting faces radical challenges. The nature of competition in broadcasting has radically changed. We are approaching a situation where it will be possible for the customer not simply to receive a few channels, but scores or even hundreds. This change will end the era of massive audiences for any one programme, even "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" which the whole country seems to watch as it once watched "The Late Late Show." The days when the whole country switched on the same television or radio programme are numbered. Viewing in the future may become an individual activity rather than a collective one. A second change is that the scale of costs of setting up the technology for digital broadcasting puts it outside the public sector, especially when commercial forces will be ready to provide this investment. We need a structure like the one in this Bill. I have no problems with the route the Minister proposes. I leave it to others to examine the Bill in detail.

Public Service Broadcasting: Against The Tide By Dr Helena Sheehan
On public service broadcasting against the tide The defense of publicservice broadcasting has become so unfashionable in recent years.
http://www.comms.dcu.ie/sheehanh/psb.htm

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.

http://www.und.ac.za/und/ccms/politeconomy/publicservice.htm

Extractions: Communicare This paper looks at two contemporary phenomena: information capitalism, and public service broadcasting. The crux of the paper is the question whether the ideal of public service broadcasting can survive the new technological and economic arrangements impinging on broadcasting; and secondly, whether the public service ethos is worth saving, in view of all the shortcomings and inherent contradictions within the system. To answer these questions, we need to clarify what we mean by technological revolution, or, what I feel is more appropriately referred to as "information capitalism". The paper will focus on what I see to be some of the key cultural, ideological and political questions thrown up by this new order, and how these changes may affect the present and future systems of broadcasting regulations and programme content. The paper also looks at what is meant by public service broadcasting, and how the concept has been applied in the South African context. It outlines some of the main crises to have bedevilled the system internationally, and focuses particularly on the somewhat spurious claim that public service broadcasting is politically neutral and non-aligned.

Public service broadcasting (often abbreviated to PSB) is the style of broadcasting established by Lord Reith , the first Director General of the BBC . Its mission is to " inform, educate and entertain A public service broadcaster is not broadcasting for commercial ends but rather aims at social betterment. For this reason, PSB is often incompatible with commercial stations. For the same reason, it is often seen as being overly paternalistic in nature. Perhaps the most famous example of a "public service broadcaster" (in theory if not in practice) is the BBC. There is no standard definition of what PSB is exactly, although a number of official bodies have attempted to pick out the key characteristics. The

Extractions: 1. FINNISH PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING AND THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT According to the Finnish media scholar Heikki Hellman, a European model for television broadcasting - as a model for public service television - has been an organisational arrangement derived from radio. National public broadcasters were established in most countries in the 1920s or 1930s, in Finland this took place in 1926. The model has been typical of Europe in particular and has been developed under the rationale of administering scarcity. When television broadcasts began in Western European countries during the late 1940s and the 1950s they were regarded as an extention of radio and hence became the responsibility of national radio broadcasting institutions. As a result public service provided a general paradigm for television broadcasting also applied by almost whole of Western Europe, Finland included In Western Europe public service broadcasters were national institutions operating in a national context. This means that eventhough they shared the same kind of idelogical bases of public service broadcasting, they also differed from each other in respect of factors like market size, socio-political structure, policy style, cultural and language characteristics, etc. In Finland it has been the specifically Finnish conditions, which have dictated the development of Finland's broadcasting industry: small population, the large area of the country, the tradition of political coalitions, the fast growth of the economy, the separateness of the Finnish language, and the original policy style

Extractions: June 10, 2000 (CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY) Introduction It is a pleasure to be here today. As some of you will recall, I have had the honour of serving the educational community and the public broadcasting world. From that perspective, as a former university administrator, and as the former head of TéléQuébec, I am pleased to see educators and industry leaders sitting down together to consider the achievements and the challenges of public service broadcasting today and in the future. The Canadian experience As you probably know, the CRTC is a national, independent agency responsible for regulating Canada's broadcasting and telecommunications systems. This dual responsibility under the same roof is almost unique in the world. It is of great advantage in dealing with convergence issues and in bringing a more comprehensive approach to a transition into an increasingly digital world.

Extractions: Advocacy and Studies ... issue 2 1999 In the last issue of Media Development (1/1999) the author argued the case for the ongoing viability of public service broadcasting (PSB) in the face of changing economic and socio-political circumstances. The following article continues the debate by focusing on problems and some potential solutions. It is probable that public service broadcasting will face serious problems in the Information Society. In fact, since the early 1990s, the situation has changed enough for at least one author to speak of a world-wide crisis in public broadcasting (Suich, 1997). He identifies the following aspects of this crisis:

http://www.wacc.org.uk/publications/md/md1999-1/jacubowicz.html

Extractions: How relevant is Public Service Broadcasting (PBS) to nations and peoples at the end of the 20th century? The author of the following article reviews current understandings of PBS and the problems it faces, with particular reference to Europe. The debate will continue in the next issue of Media Development, when the role of PBS in the Information Society will be explored. This statement provides evidence of both (Western) Eurocentrism and technological determinism. The first is understandable in the circumstances. The second is an unfortunate element of much of the discussion of the Information Society, which often focuses on machines and technology instead of on what every discussion of communication should proceed from - the human being and its needs. To begin with, let me briefly deal with the first issue. Public service broadcasting has so far been a uniquely Western European invention, with a few offshoots in Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and - to some extent - the United States. Central and Eastern European countries are the scene of transformation of former State- and party- controlled monopoly broadcasters into dual systems, combining public service and commercial organisations. Only in countries where political transformation has produced a democratic system (Gati, 1996, argues that this means seven out of 27 post-Communist countries) has PSB had any real chance of emerging, though the process still has some way to go.
