What is the case for intervening to provide New Media Public Service Content? April 24, 2007

Part of the series of Oxford Media and Communications Seminars will be led by Dr. David Levy, Associate Fellow in Media and Communications. "Their aim is to join up the worlds of policymakers, regulators and academia to tackle some of the most difficult regulatory, business and strategic challenges facing the sector."

"Proposals for a Public service publisher stem from a belief that in future many of the traditional goals of Public Service Broadcasting will be achieved through public service content – across a variety of platforms. But how strong is the case for a new form of public intervention to offer some kind of interactive/user participatory experience? To what extent can we rely on the market to supply a wide range of opportunities for hosting user generated & interactive content? What should the focus be of public intervention in this area and how can we ensure that such intervention will achieve its goals?"
