The development of online platforms together with changes in users’
behavior (social media, blogs, collaborative media making) call
traditional media organizations (including radio and TV) to adapt to the
digital mediascapes. All of this is of critical importance for public
service media (PSM), which has been tasked to serve the societal and
cultural needs of a given nation and to promote democracy and
participation within the geographical boundaries.

The goal of the conference is to highlight and evidence the development
scenario for public service media in the era of convergence and
digitalisation. The meeting aims at redefining the model of contemporary
PSMs in the context of both external (media regulation, public service
remit, relations with the publics) and internal challenges (structures,
funding, organisational culture, innovation and new technologies). All
of this when taking part in the discussions with representatives from
governmental bodies, regulatory authority (The National Broadcasting
Council), international organisations (European Broadcasting Union, The
Council of Europe) as well as leaders and managers of public media in
Poland (Polskie Radio – PR, Telewizja Polska – TVP).

Among the salient questions to be addressed are: What is the current
state of discussions on public service media going forward? What are the
good practices for PSM adaptation to the digital ecosystems? What
recommendations could be addressed to policy makers and PSM leaders and
managers in order to assist the evolution towards the network paradigm?
