Evolution Towards Public Service Media - Workshop and Conference

Date: October 11, 2013 Time: 10:00 to 19:30 Venue: INESC Porto (new auditorium) and FEUP (central auditorium) Registrations until September, 13

Workshop: From Public Service Broadcasting to Public Service Media: Avoiding Public Service. ‘Anything’ Scenarios and Grasping ‘Digital’ Opportunities

Program:
10:00 - From PSB to PSM: Main trends, challenges and opportunities
Firstly, what does the evolution from public service broadcasting to public service media actually mean?
Are public broadcasters indeed public service media providers and do they have a ‘natural’ claim to public service delivery in online markets? And how should governments regulate this? Are public value tests ‘good’ instruments in this regard?

12:30 - Lunch

13:30 - PSM will be networked or won’t be: Models of collaboration
Secondly, should public broadcasters cooperate more with other players in the public, but also commercial domain? Should and can one evolve to models of open collaboration? What are problems in terms of the public service remit, legal issues like anti-trust, efficiency, transparency, etc.?

15:00 - Coffee break

15:15 - Money matters: Main trends, challenges and opportunities regarding funding
Thirdly, how (much) should governments fund public broadcasters? What have been trends around Europe in this regard? Is a fully publicly subsidized or license fee funded model to be preferred over dual funding? Is commercial communication the only conceivable form of commercial funding or are payments by the public in some circumstances acceptable as well?

All sessions include a time slot for discussion.

Participants: Maximum 30 (free admittance, registration required to psbworkshop@gmail.com)
