Abstract
This chapter addresses the management and organization of PSM companies. Its starting point are the basic concepts ‘public,’ ‘public service remit,’ and ‘public value.’ The reason for this is that these are closely related to the origin and development of many PSM companies. These concepts are taken as a relational element when it comes to analyzing the failure or success of the organization and management of public service media companies. The aim is to take on a perspective that focuses on the management and organization of a PSM institution and reflects on the circumstances that prevent failure in PSM corporations. The arguments in this chapter will be illustrated with three examples: A reference to the closure of the Greek public broadcaster ERT in 2013 and the analysis of two case studies of national public broadcasters, in Germany and Spain.

« Public service media (PSM) have been the mainstay of Western European broadcasting for a number of decades. Yet despite a general political consensus in favour of PSM, recent technological, economic and political changes have led to a questioning of their value.
This new collection of essays explores the history of PSM in selected European countries, from their early establishment as the main media in many countries to charting their transformation and evolution in recent years. The contributions consider the political, economic and market-integration issues that impact PSM, while also highlighting the importance of the ideology that originally accompanied PSM in its initial years, to see how relevant they are in the contemporary world.
The book consists of two complementary parts:
Part I: Theoretical Aspects and Global Influences on Public Service Media in Europe
Part II: A Comparative Analysis of Public Service Media across Europe
With contributions from leading experts, the first part offers a thorough examination of the current concepts and conditions that influence PSM in Europe. The second offers a comparative study of PSM in several European countries including France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden.
Offering the most comprehensive study of the field to date, Public Service Media in Europe will be useful for students and researchers in public media, political communication, international and comparative media. »
