Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

Abstract Public service and community media are often mentioned in the same breath. While there is much they share, there are also many ways in which they differ, not the least in the regulatory and political contexts that surround them. This entry provides an overview of theories underlying both kinds of media and a summary of their history, before describing the different national and international regulatory or funding regimes to which they are subject. It ends with an analysis of the challenges faced by these two media sectors from technological change and the campaigns of commercial competitors.
