2 Ensure a #universal #funding model fit for the future, which is sufficient, sustainable and fair and that supports #publicservicemedia

Russischer Staatssender mischt sich in Abstimmung zu Halbierungs­initiative ein. Wenige Wochen vor dem Urnengang erhält die Vorlage unerwartete Unterstützung – aus Moskau. RT DE attackiert die SRG und verbreitet dabei eine falsche Darstellung einer SRF-Website.

Who would have thought... RT attacks the SRG and supports the initiative that wants to cut Swiss PSM's budget in half.

The BBC in the News … About 28 years ago (in 1997), my book about the BBC was published. I looked at and investigated external factors that impacted internal changes at the BBC, and brought this into a historical contex…

I reflected a little on what is happening at the BBC at the moment - and what all this means for #PublicServiceMedia in general.
Just imagine a world without media that are primarily there to serve the public, or having only media that serve commercial, personal or (party) political interests?!

You deserve the truth, not AI’s interpretation of it. AI-generated output is so convincing today and shaping so much of the information we consume that we risk being unable to trust anything anymore.

🚨ICYMI - On #WorldNewsDay, @lizcorbin.ebu.ch & WAN-IFRA CEO Vincent Peyrègne warned: AI assistants often distort the news.

How can we protect journalism’s integrity?
