Cable, satellite and terrestrial commercial broadcasters have unleashed a competitive assault for the advertising dollar and, in the process, broadcasting content has witnessed a significant decline in terms of quality. Commercial logic dominates the global broadcasting landscape today, with little concern for public interest and for the need to inform and educate citizens to understand the complex challenges of the world they live in. This book contains a compendium of critical essays that outline the issues and challenges faced by public service broadcasters around the world. It provides valuable insights into specific national public service broadcasting experiences, while highlighting a range of common issues faced by public service broadcasters in different national contexts. Case studies and the experiences of twelve countries are covered, giving a global perspective on the state of public service broadcasting in the age of globalization. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:
