The Media Bill will allow Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs) to meet their obligations through online video services. In this briefing note, we call for much greater transparency and accountability.
The Media Bill will negatively impact critically-endangered genres across Public Service Media, including international coverage. We outline our concerns in this briefing note.
In this submission, we argue that the Government's Draft Media Bill threatens the few remaining spaces for international coverage within the Public Service Media system. In particular, removing its obligation to cover 'matters of international significance and interest' will disincentivise and discourage outward-looking programme-making that brings the world to UK audiences.
In this submission, we argue that the Government's proposal to privatise Channel 4 poses a significant risk to the channel's commitment international content that is delivered through a range of genres including news and current affairs.
