Renewing Democratic Consent for Public Service Media – Exploring Public Purpose Media Public Service Media (PSM) is facing significant changes driven by shifts in technology, audience behaviour, and the broader media environment. Traditional models, which once relied on national institutions and state-backed funding, are under increasing strain as new dynamics reshape the way information and culture are produced, distributed, and consumed. Cultural and Informational Globalisation – Audiences now have access to a vast range of international content, which can both enrich and challenge national media institutions. PSM providers must navigate a landscape where global entertainment and news sources compete for attention, often offering content that resonates more with certain audiences than national broadcasters.

How can media better serve communities rather than just consumers? With public service media under pressure, is it time to rethink its role—moving from centralised institutions to participatory, local models? What would a truly community-led media look like? #MediaForAll

The Joy of Making Media – Community, Creativity, and Connection Community media offers a unique space where creativity, participation, and storytelling come together. At its core, it embodies the same spirit found in DIY arts and crafts—where hands-on engagement, playfulness, and collective creation are central to the experience. The act of making media, whether through community radio, local news, or grassroots storytelling, is more than just a technical exercise; it is a means of self-expression, collaboration, and social connection. Much like crafting, community media invites people to engage physically and practically with the tools of production. Recording devices, microphones, sound mixers, and video cameras become instruments of creativity, much like brushes and fabrics in an artist’s studio.

How does making media together strengthen communities? From storytelling to radio, DIY media-making builds skills, connections, and a sense of ownership. How can we show its impact and ensure these spaces thrive? #CommunityMedia #MediaForAll
