Description
Public Service Broadcasting explores the importance of this media in the present and future. Written by an expert in the field, the book examines the development of public service broadcasting, key debates, and issues within wider cultural contexts. David Hendy considers how broadcasters such as the BBC shape society, culture, and politics, focusing on the ethical and cultural values that have been reinvented to ensure broadcasting remains a 'public good'. This analysis is invaluable for students of media and broadcasting, as well as those interested in the significant social and cultural impact of public service broadcasting globally. Clear and concise, this book provides a contemporary understanding of public service broadcasting's role in society.
