edia outlets, and the public. Academic research to date has predominantly examined public service media (PSM) and the dichotomy of private versus public media, thereby overlooking other models of state ownership. The lack of clear regulations on the state’s accountability as a media owner outside PSM at the EU level, along with uncertainties in national regulatory frameworks (such as those seen in Slovenia, and the recent reinstatement of state ownership of media in Serbia) raise concerns about the potential for abuse of power. These issues are particularly relevant in the current context of illiberal and authoritarian tendencies within modern European capitalist societies." (Abstract)

s logic of capital but by broader ambitions that involve citizen participation, social improvement andknowledge acquisition. This article offers a different interpretation. It argues that at their very best, PSM have improved an otherwise anaemic commercial landscape; at their worst, they are simply an accessory to state actors and contaminated media markets that reproduce elite power. Media practices and institutions based on the public service idea all too often lack the accountability and indeed the fundamental democratic oversight of the publics in whose name they operate. This article seeks first to contrast the values and structures of public service media with those of wholly commercial models and illustrates some of the ‘defensive’ arguments and initiatives that have been developed in response to threats to PSM. The article then explores a series of arguments that problematise what is often a reflexive defence of PSM. It considers whether being non-commercial necessarily positions an institution as pro-public and focuses on the role of the state in the creation of PSM institutions. It argues that the gap between normative accounts of public service and their institutional structures is not an accident or an aberration but reflects the structural imbalances of power built into PSM. Finally, the article analyses the different ways in which ‘the public’ has been conceptualised and deployed in the operational models of PSM, often as the ‘masses’ or as individuals in need of enlightenment or as sovereign consumers, but rarely as active agents of social change."

ling in some countries within a few years. Based on the premise that quality journalism could be an effective strategy against this trend, this study examines the role of public service media (PSM) in news avoidance and its antecedents. Drawing on national surveys in 22 countries, the findings showed that PSM news access was generally related to news trust and perceived media independence and negatively related to perceived media cynicism across the countries. News trust was also consistently negatively related to news avoidance. The study suggests that PSM as a proxy for quality journalism could play a role in attenuating news avoidance by engendering news trust, even in countries where PSM has a relatively small market presence and low audience reach."

tudy, this article presents a tool for assessing the state of innovation in PSM production processes. A qualitative methodology is applied. First, we analyze prior innovation indicator models and both the regulation and gray literature about the 14 Spanish PSM organizations. Second, we conduct structured interviews with 45 managers of these PSM. Once designed, the instrument was validated by applying the Fuzzy Delphi method. The results allow for the development of a tool structured in nine dimensions that contain 68 indicators whose application will make it possible to know the state of internal, external, and cross-cutting innovation in the production processes of PSM."

D’autre part, des formes de résistance au journalisme d’État apparaissent faisant naître par moments des velléités d’un renouveau voire d’une révolution médiatique. Ce journalisme affranchi se définit comme un journalisme d’information n’ayant pour seules références éditoriales que les règles sacro-saintes du métier et l’intérêt général. In fine, le microcosme ‘’médias publics’’ évolue dans un environnement qui le contraint à une identité éditoriale ambigüe : il n’est ni un média de service public ni un média d’État stricto sensu."

ing anti-disinformation solutions. In this article, we introduce a framework for assessing how PSM organizations are able to counter disinformation in different contexts. Our normative framework provides a triangulation of contextual factors that determine the role of the PSM organization in the national environment, the activities carried out to fight disinformation and expert assessments of the potential of PSM to reduce the impact of disinformation. The framework is illustrated with analyses of PSM from the Czech Republic (CZE), Finland, Spain and the United Kingdom (UK)." (Abstract)
