>The importance of reconceptualising what public service broadcasting
>[PSB] should be and do in the 21st century is a profile issue in media
>policy and strategic development planning. There is growing recognition
>that public participation is a necessary if problematic aspect of the
>transition to public service media [PSM]. This recognition correlates
>with a deepening understanding that the viability of the enterprise
>depends on the people paying for it and using its services.
>
>This fourth RIPE Reader demonstrates how the historic insularity of PSB
>companies is changing in efforts to restructure and revitalise the
>enterprise. The substance features further development of research
>presented in the RIPE@2008 conference in Germany, titled Public Service
>Media in the 21st Century: Participation, Partnership and Media
>Development.
>
>The authors included in this volume query what is required to achieve
>participation-readiness in many interdependent facets: strategy
>revision, organisational restructuring, retooling production processes,
>and redefining professional identities. Approached in two sections, the
>first focuses on theories and trends and the second on practices and
>performance. The contents document the significance of engaging the
>public in, with and through media services, arguing the crucial
>importance of the Public in Public Service Media.
