[ecrea] PSB-Digital Project -- Final Workshop in Brussels, Feb. 6th 2012

Tue Nov 29 19:24:26 GMT 2011



PSB-Digital Project | Final Workshop

Date: February 6th 2012 (Monday).
Venue: Hanse-Office in Brussels, Avenue Palmerston 20, B-1000 Brussels.
Free attendance, but registration is required.

Dear Colleagues,

The Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research is organizing the “The Adaptation of Public Service Broadcasting to the Multiplatform Scenario”. It will be hosted by the Hanse-Office in Brussels.

The workshop wants to analyse the current transformations as well as the extension experienced by Public Service Broadcasting due to technology innovation. Both factors have resulted in relevant conflicts and discussions within the media market, which have also fostered an intense political debate.

The event will include 3 sessions:

1. “Redefining and Repositioning Public Service Media in the Multiplatform Scenario: Challenges, Opportunities and Risks”

Dr. Roberto Suárez Candel, researcher in charge of the PSB-Digital project, which has been funded by the Marie Curie Programme, will present the final findings concerning the current transformations and challenges that public service broadcasters must face with regard to their remit, organization and performance. Moreover, the conclusions resulting from the comparison of the adaptation strategies implemented by public operators in Germany, Poland and Spain will be discussed.

2. Professional / Academic Debate Panel: “Adapting Public Service to the ‘Anything, Anywhere, Anytime’ Paradigm: National Strategies in Germany, Poland and Spain"

A panel including representatives from national public broadcasters and academic scholars will discuss how public service can make the most of innovation and of the multiplatform scenario, how to improve its performance in order to provide citizens with a better value for money and how to face the hostilities by commercial players.

3. Supranational Debate Panel: “Regulation and Accountability: Shaping the Extension and the Future of Public Service Media”

Members of the European Commission’s services, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the European Broadcasting Union will analyse the international debate regarding public service media and how supranational institutions can influence, determine or contribute to national policies. The debate will be focused on the accountability of public service and how the current ex-ante evaluation trends in this field might have an impact on its evolution and extension.
