  • CALL FOR PAPERS: "SPECIAL ISSUE": Public Service Media and Innovation

    2025-02-13

    Abstract


    The main objective of this Special Issue is to analytically reflect on Public Service  Media from the perspective of the  multidimensional field of innovation. The innovation we refer to should be understood as a “social phenomenon”  (Rossetti, 2013), as it encompasses not only  “technological” aspects but also “symbolic” ones. Therefore, we aim to understand how Public Service Media (in some contexts referred to as Public Broadcasting Services) in different regions are innovating, can/should innovate, or face challenges in innovating—whether in programming, management, social participation, funding, or regulation. This is particularly relevant in political, economic, and sociocultural contexts where a range of emerging and disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence tools, are increasingly impacting both the governance of the Public Sector and the “media present” (Martino, 2009), which is marked by phenomena such as disinformation, hate speech, and various forms of populism. These issues are becoming more prevalent within the framework of a “platform society” (Van Dijck, Poell & Wall, 2018), placing democracy and citizenship under growing pressure.
