Public Service?

rethinking an old idea for the new media spheres (A)

 

The purpose with this session is to provide an opportunity for an open conversation around the notion of Public Service (compare Public Broadcasting). The term has its origins in the 1920:s when broadcasted aerial radio became an important issue and expanded to encompass television beginning in the 1940:s. Today the media situation differs substantially - and what kind of "public services" we might need is an open question.

 

For examples, do we need

  • content produced by public service companies or do we need public hosting for podcasts?
  • online worlds populated by public service companies or do we need public online world infrastructures?
  • the right to listen to public service content on the web or the right to make derivate work for our webcasts?
  • any public services at all?
