The Egyptian public broadcaster, newly named the National Media Council (NMC), has been under pressure to undergo comprehensive restructuring. Many changes have taken place recently to enable this transformation. Through analysing financial reports, evaluating the new regulatory framework and conducting in-depth interviews, this study examines the likelihood of the NMC adapting to the recent changes and the extent to which the new regulatory framework promotes a public service system suggesting a model for implementation. Findings show that the NMC must respond to four main challenges: lack of strategic vision and identity, a centralized regime power structure, an acute financial deficit, and a weak digital presence. Interviewees evaluated the new regulatory framework as inexhaustive with an intention to maintain grip on power. Interviewees proposed an integrated decentralized model that combines the public service mission with private partnership.

The Public Sphere

Public broadcasting is traditionally thought to be an essential element to public spheres. This paper charts how this relationship is formed, and then demonstrates how it is threatened in the Canadian context. Canada’s public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has digital policies like Strategy 2020: A Space for Us All which suggests CBC is pivoting away from its relationship with the public sphere, and in some ways weakening the Canadian public sphere. Accordingly, this paper looks at the claims charged about this policy, particularly from Taylor (2016), and considers how it and similar digital policies affect the CBC as an element of the Canadian public sphere. While the paper finds CBC digital policies benefit the public sphere, the majority put into action hinder CBC’s relationship to the Canadian public sphere. Overall, this MRP highlights the importance of considering the philosophy of the public sphere when developing public media policy.

"The Broadcasting Act of 1991 lays out the Policy Objectives for the Canadian Broadcasting system. It defines it as a single system, owned and controlled by Canadians, comprising private, public and community elements, "which provides a public service essential to the maintenance and enhancement of national identity and cultural sovereignty"l Contrary to both the U.S. model where the broadcasting system was initially conceived as a purely private enterprise, and the European model where the broadcasters were government controlled entities; the Canadian system in its earliest stages evolved into a public-private system with both economic and cultural goals" -- Page 1.

Public Television and Identification: Flemish citizens with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Evidence from family research Public Television and Identification: Flemish citizens with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Evidence from family research This article outlines how the Flemish public broadcaster VRT is perceived by 25 in-depth interviewed families with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Our analysis shows that, compared to other channels, VRT is perceived of great value when it comes to current affairs, children’s programs and news, but not fiction. Indispensable elements of identification within the de facto diversified Flemish social context are lacking, according to our informants. Criticisms voiced by our informants do not always result from ‘ethnic’ or ‘religious’ identifications. Especially subaltern groups (non-believers, young people, women) do not feel represented. Criticisms bear on the definition of functional quality as provided in the public-service contract: language use, perceived quality, the extent to which the program supply is (not or hardly) meeting their needs. Consequently, a wider approach, applying both the diversity charter and the public-service contract to minority audiences, is being advocated.

Abstract: Public service broadcasting's purpose, the object of much debate in South Africa, may be defined as the provision of a universal service of excellent programming while maintaining public legitimacy through an editorial independence from both the government of the day and commercial interests. Since the 1980s, the global media landscape has undergone fundamental changes. Most of the dynamics which today plague public broadcasting are of international import, and the direct result of the intervention of the global economic order. Public service broadcasting must be carried out within the means available to the public broadcaster, and so it is at this point, when the pragmatism of limited financial means meets with the idealism of an all-encompassing mandate, that public service broadcasting's late-twentieth-century contradictions become apparent. This paper tracks this paradox across the re-launch and transformation of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) from a state broadcaster serving the interests of largely "white,'' "coloured,'' and "Indian'' middle classes to a public broadcaster mandated to better serve the country's 11 official language communities. Résumé: Ce que peut être le but de la radiodiffusion publique est une question qui suscite bien des discussions en Afrique du Sud. On peut néanmoins définir ce but comme étant à la fois l'offre d'un service universel de programmation excellente et le maintien d'une légitimité publique en conservant une indépendance éditoriale par rapport au gouvernement au pouvoir et aux intérêts commerciaux. Depuis les années quatre-vingt, l'environnement médiatique global a subi des changements fondamentaux. La plupart des dynamiques qui aujourd'hui influent sur la radiodiffusion publique sont de provenance internationale, le résultat direct de l'intervention de l'ordre économique global. Dans un tel environnement, le radiodiffuseur public ne peut qu'utiliser les moyens à sa disposition pour offrir ses services. C'est à ce stade, quand le pragmatisme des moyens financiers limités confronte l'idéalisme d'un mandat trés vaste, que les contradictions de la radiodiffusion publique au vingtième siécle deviennent évidentes. Cet article examine ce paradoxe en décrivant l'exemple de la relance et de la transformation du South African Broadcasting Corporation (la SABC, c'est-à-dire La Société de radiodiffusion sud-africaine). Originairement un radiodiffuseur d'État servant principalement les classes moyennes blanches, métisses et indiennes, la SABC est devenue un radiodiffuseur public dont le mandat est de mieux servir les onze communautés linguistiques officielles du pays.

Using the Irish Radio Industry as a case study, this chapter illustrates how the Public Service Broadcaster (PSB), Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), was slow to react to change and the effect this had on the organisation’s competitiveness. This chapter analyses how RTÉ’s youth radio station, RTÉ 2fm, lost its place as the market leader to the competition including commercial station Beat and other stations as it resisted the required technological, social and economic change which ultimately affected its listenership. The author argues that the independent sector led the way in innovation and affected change which greatly benefited the industry as a whole and brought it into the digital age. This research was based on a methodology involving in-depth interviews, online surveys, textual analysis, direct observation and a longitudinal content analysis.

LABURPENA: Zerbitzu publikoko azpiegiturak hornitzeko lankidetza publikopribatuaren gaur egungo larrialdiaren oinarrian herri-administrazioen diruzaintza alorreko tirabirak daude. Teknika honen abantailak hiru zutoinetan sustraitzen dira: sektore publikoaren eta sektore pribatuaren arteko elkarrizketa proiektuak finantzatzeko eta aurrera eramateko adostasunaren bidean; kalitatea/prezioa erlazio onean, eta zor publikoan batere inpakturik ez duen kontularitza publikoaren tratamenduan. Guztiarekin ere, desabantailak Europako eta Estatuko esparru arautzaile eskasean biltzen dira, bai kontratazioari dagokionez, bai finantza-aktiboak eskuratzeko pizgarriei dagokienez. Beraz, beharrezkoa da esparru arautzaile berri bat sortzea, proiektuen, kontratuen eta arriskuak banatzeko eskemaren egituratze egoki bat bultzatuko duena eta, aldi berean, parte hartzeko pizgarriak eskainiko dituena; halaber, ordainketa-mekanismoak argituko dituena eta, bereziki, lankidetza publiko-pribatuaren kontratu berriaren definizioa eta elkarrizketa lehiakorraren formularen definizioa hobetuko dituena, esleipen-prozedura espezifiko gisa. RESUMEN: La actual emergencia de la colaboración público-privada en la provisión de infraestructuras de servicio público es consecuencia de las tensiones de tesorería de las Administraciones públicas. Las ventajas de esta técnica se concretan en el diálogo entre el sector público y el sector privado para consensuar la financiación y ejecución de proyectos, la buena relación calidad-precio y un tratamiento en términos de contabilidad pública que determina un nulo impacto en la deuda pública. Los inconvenientes aun así están centrados en el deficiente marco regulador europeo y estatal, tanto en materia de contratación como de incentivos a la captación de activos financieros. Hace falta pues un nuevo marco normativo que favorezca la adecuada estructuración de proyectos, contratos y esquema de distribución de riesgos, así como prevea incentivos a la participación, aclare los mecanismos de pago y, en particular, mejore la definición del nuevo contrato de colaboración público-privada y de la fórmula del diálogo competitivo como procedimiento de adjudicación específico. ABSTRACT: The emergence of the current public-private collaboration in the provision of public service infrastructure is the result of tensions treasury of government. The advantages of this technique are summarized in the dialogue between the public and the private sector to agree on funding and project delivery, good value and its treatment in terms of public accounting that determines no impact on debt. The disadvantages however are focused on the European regulatory framework and poor state, both in recruitment and incentives to attract financial assets. We therefore need a new regulatory framework that promotes the proper structuring of projects and contracts that affect the design and award of contracts, the pattern of distribution of risks in the regulation of reckless offers, incentives for participation in these types of projects, payment mechanisms and improving the definition of the new contract public-private collaboration, as well as the competitive dialogue procurement procedure as specified.
