Abstract

Public service broadcasting (PSB) has been under threat in Europe for both ideological and technical reasons since the 1980s. The threat is the result of the expansion of media commercialization, the proliferation of new technologies, and the impact of the deregulation trends in the United States and throughout the world that resulted in the rapid growth of cable and satellite television. Following Jakubowicz’s (2006), it seems that a key role for PSB in democratization is one of assisting globalization and contributing to wider international dialog and understanding between countries, as well as functioning as a national public sphere for debate.
