Is Public Broadcasting in Terminal Decline?

Why should publicly funded broadcasting be protected in an age of austerity?

In the age of austerity, public service broadcasting is facing tough times. Funding is falling and providers such as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ are being forced to re-think their priorities. Critics argue that commercial media are at an unfair disadvantage, and being squeezed out. Its defenders say it provides some of the world’s best quality journalism and entertainment and should be cherished. Join Rebecca Kesby and her panel of guests as they discuss what a world might look like without public broadcasting.
