?? Understanding public service media...?

As debates on the future of public service media intensify, it’s essential for us all to reflect on their core values and fundamental role in democratic society.

With a number of heated debates taking place globally regarding the role of public service media, it is important for the public, politicians and commentators alike to step back and reflect on the core values of public media, and how they underpin informed societies and healthy democracies.

While these?values?are idealistic, and partly dependent on local contexts and challenges, they demonstrate the importance of public service media (PSM) within a plural media landscape, especially as a trusted source of education, entertainment and information in a time of polarised debate.

Ultimately, PSM must be independent from undue commercial and political interference. Unlike many private and state rivals, PSM are obliged to be representative of and accessible to diverse communities, to be?impartial, and to provide a forum for debate and dialogue across a nation. Combined with a source of public funding, these principles help to ensure that PSM are accountable to the public first and foremost.

???? ARD and ZDF launch a joint streaming network

ARD and ZDF are expanding their media libraries into a common streaming network.?

This agreement is the product of a year and a half’s work between ZDF and ARD working together, and is due to launch in the next few weeks. ZDF told PMA, “Above all, the streaming network is just a cost efficient means to enhance user experience without setting up an entire new infrastructure while not interfering with each broadcasters’ distinctive branding.”?ZDF described it as, “the greatest possible networking that does not undermine journalistic competition.”?

The network will first only feature recommendations in?documentary and culture?genres. Once first experiences have been assessed the network will look to expand to all other genres. Following this will be the provision of a joint search across both media libraries and a one-time login for both media libraries.?
