Public broadcasting is the single most important social, cultural,
and journalistic institution of the twentieth century. In the past
fifteen years it has been assaulted politically, ideologically,
technologically, and is everywhere in retreat. This book considers
the idea of public service broadcasting and examines in detail the
assault made upon it with specific emphasis on global developments
and events in the United Kingdom, Japan, Europe, and the United
States. Michael Tracey argues that public service broadcasting has
been a vital and democratically significant institution now
experiencing a terminal decline brought about by changes in
political, economic, and technological circumstances. Based on
years of research and extensive contact with leading public
broadcasters around the world the author examines the idea of
public service broadcasting and how for the most part it has vainly
(and often ineffectually) struggled to survive in recent years .
The author concludes that public broadcasting is, as was once said
of Weimar, a corpse on leave. Its likely disappearance constitutes
an indication of a real and deep-seated crisis within liberal
democracy.
