Vol. 20 No. 39 (2025): Number with Special Issue

The main objective of this Dossier is to reflect analytically on Public Services Media from the perspective of the multidimensional field of innovation. The innovation we are discussing is one that should be perceived as a “social phenomenon” as it encompasses not only “technological” issues, but also “symbolic ones” (Rossetti, 2013). Therefore, we are interested in understanding how Public Media Services, in various territories, are innovating, can/should innovate or face challenges to innovate (in programming, management, social participation, financing, regulation), especially in a political-economic and sociocultural context in which phenomena such as misinformation, hate speeches and various populisms are increasingly present, notably in the socio-digital media environment, and place stress on society, on citizenship, on democracy and on life.
