civic media sector consists of channel communication linked to organised groups and social networks
best way to manage the public media sector is to entrust it with a public service organisation
one problem is that the government can undermine the independence of public broadcasting institutions and restrict the public debate through their channels
second problem is that public service broadcasting organisations tend to be unduly influenced by the political class
third problem that can beset public broadcasting is unresponsiveness to popular demand
everyone including politicians to academics now agree that public communications systems are part of the’cultural industries’
regulation – free market or state control. Either the organisations have little to none restrictions meaning they can lie and exploit media, however if the government inputs too many rules the media becomes government controlled
