Public Service Broadcasting

"Public Service Broadcasting" takes issue with the opinion that public service broadcasting is a thing of the past, and stresses its importance in the present, and the future too. Written by a leading expert in the field, this clear, concise book explores the development of public service broadcasting. It thoroughly explains key debates, placing them in terms of wider cultural contexts, and examines key issues, including legislation, funding and digitalisation. "Public Service Broadcasting" is invaluable reading for all students of media and broadcasting, and for anyone interested in a strand of media that has had, and continues to have, an enormous social and cultural impact - not only in Britain, but across the world.
