The Future of Public Service Media and the Internet

Utilising the eComitee platform, an active group of scholars and PSM experts discussed the future of Public Service Media and the Internet for a time period of two months. After the discussion in the four clusters was closed, Alessandro D’Arma, Christian Fuchs, Minna Horowitz, and Klaus Unterberger created a summary of the discussion. This summary is documented as chapter 5 in this chapter. Based on the summary, a first version of the Manifesto was created that was then further discussed on eComitee. This chapter is a scholarly foundation of the Manifesto that gives an overview of a range of issues concerning contemporary Public Service Media, the contemporary Internet, and the future of communication(s)
