Geopolitical constraints on China’s soft power
This article examines the framing of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Italian news media between 2017 and 2023, a period that captures Italy’s full trajectory of engagement with the initiative: from early optimism and eventual participation to disillusionment and withdrawal. Italy occupies an exceptional position: it was the first and only G7 country to sign a BRI Memorandum of Understanding in 2019 despite longstanding Western alignment…
Philanthropy, big donors, and communication in Europe
Philanthropy is not a new phenomenon. Traditionally associated with fields such as education, healthcare and humanitarian aid, in recent years there has also been a growing interest in initiatives in the field of communication, with a focus on areas such as journalism, access to technology, and platforms and applications. The super-rich not only control large amounts of the world’s wealth but also make donations to support a wide range of project…

Programming and investment quotas in favour of ‘European works’ are an important element of the audiovisual ‘cultural policy toolkit’ in Europe. In reasserting their role, the revised 2018 Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) has updated these rules in response to the rise of transnational video-on-demand (VoD) services across the continent. This article examines why and how Italy embarked on a reform of its domestic regime on quotas in 2…
Public service media in the age of SVoDs
Netflix and other transnational online video streaming services are disrupting long-established arrangements in national television systems around the world. In this paper we analyse how public service media (PSM) organisations (key purveyors of societal goals in broadcasting) are responding to the fast-growing popularity of these new services. Drawing on Philip Napoli’s framework for analysing strategic responses by established media to threats …
Advocating for public service media
Why advocate for public service media? Perspectives from organizations for media development
In this commentary, we discuss how five prominent media development organizations (BBC Media Action, Council of Europe, DWA, PMA and UNESCO) define public service broadcasting (PSB)/public service media (PSM) and how they envisage its role and functions in their recent projects and reports. In view of the increasing challenges of the current media landscape, international donors are looking at models to provide a path to independent media and jou…

How Do Public Service Broadcasters Make a Case for Themselves? An Analysis of BBC's “Charter Manifestos”
As publicly funded organizations operating in a sector characterized by ever-greater private-sector provision, public service broadcasters need to build a robust case for their continuing legitimacy. This article examines the discursive strategies of the BBC in the United Kingdom in the context of the last three Royal Charter reviews. It shows that since the early 2000s, and particularly during the most recent Charter review, the BBC has deployed…
The hollowing out of public service media
This article examines the recent commercialisation of the programme-making activities at the BBC in the United Kingdom as a major instance of a wider tendency that sees a market logic becoming increasingly embedded in public service media (PSM) organisations. Drawing on ideational approaches to policy analysis, this article seeks to explain how and why the BBC came to conceive of BBC Studios, a new commercial subsidiary bringing together the majo…
Making a difference? Public service broadcasting, distinctiveness and children’s provision in Italy and Spain
This article evaluates the performance of public service broadcasters (PSBs) in the area of children’s television in Italy and Spain. It asks: how distinctive is the output of public service children’s channels? As core area of public service provision, children’s television represents an important testing ground for wider debates about the distinctiveness of public service broadcasting (PSB) in a digital age. Public broadcasters in Southern Euro…
Localisation Strategies of US-owned Children's Television Networks in Five European Markets
This study examines the children's channel output of the US transnationals in Germany, Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands, and seeks to identify the specific factors that determine and shape their programming strategies linked to localisation. The analysis is based on a 2-week analysis of the schedules of some of the most popular transnational children's channels (Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Playhouse Disney, Nickelodeon, Nick Junior…
Evaluating and regulating the role of public broadcasters in the children’s media ecology
This article examines the evaluation and regulation of public service broadcasting’s (PSB’s) contribution to home-grown children’s content, a key marker of difference with commercial rivals. UK experience forms the core of the analysis, but throughout we connect findings to experiences in other European countries. We concentrate on PSB’s interventions in TV, but consider this within the wider scope of multiplatform and online activities that occu…
Global media, business and politics
This article presents a comparative analysis of News Corporation’s entry strategy and rise to dominance in the British and Italian television markets through its satellite pay-TV operations, BSkyB and Sky Italia respectively. As well documented, News Corporation’s strategy in the UK has been heavily dependent on Rupert Murdoch’s cultivation of political connections. By contrast, in Italy Murdoch has been unable to influence local politics to furt…
Public Service Media and Children
This chapter examines the policy framework shaping the provision of children's content by three Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) organisations — the BBC in Britain, PBS in the US and RAI in Italy. It shows how political decisions regarding the remit and funding of PSBs have traceable consequences for the ability of these organisations to make a real public service contribution in this area, by providing a service that is at the same time distinc…
