The seventh RIPE Reader investigates cross-boundary influences affecting 
public service media. PSM institutions remain domestically grounded and 
orientated, but must cope with international influences and the impact 
of globalisation. This presents significant environmental challenges 
keyed to policies that support networked communications which have 
important implications for the future of broadcasting. Meanwhile, 
internal institutional boundaries pose challenges to internal 
collaboration and synergy, and to achieving greater openness and 
cultivating public participation in PSM. Traditional boundaries between 
professional and non-professional production are often problematic, as 
well, for external collaboration. And there are enormous challenges in 
efforts to bridge boundaries between PSM and other public institutions 
(public sector), social movements (civil and volunteer sector) and 
companies (private sector). Cross-boundary phenomena offer tremendous 
opportunities for ensuring public service provision in the emerging 
media ecology, but managers and policy-makers must grapple with a range 
of dualities that require critical examination: public / private, 
national / international, broadcast / print, linear / non-linear, 
audience / user, production / distribution, citizen / consumer, and 
market / society. The scholarly contributions in this volume address 
issues that are relevant for improved understandings about/Public 
Service Media Across Borders and Boundaries/ – a contemporary topic of 
keen theoretical and strategic importance.
