The Public Service Media and Public Service Internet Manifesto

Here are ten of the key principles:

A democracy-enhancing Internet requires Public Service Media becoming Public Service Internet platforms that help to advance opportunities and equality in society. We call for the creation of the legal, economic, and organizational foundations of such platforms.

Public Service Media content is distinctive from commercial media and data companies. It addresses citizens, not consumers.

Public Service Internet platforms realize fairness, democracy, participation, civic dialogue, and engagement on the Internet.

The Public Service Internet requires new formats, new content, and vivid cooperation with the creative sectors of our societies.

Principle 7

The Public Service Internet promotes equality and diversity.

The Public Service Internet provides opportunities for public debate, participation, and the advancement of social cohesion.
