AB The extent to which the State has developed influence over the market and its participants throughout modern history manifests itself in different aspects. In this context, the State uses its political authority to decide “who can obtain what and how” in a society (Popper 1945, p. 172). Here, what refers to economic resources but also to rights and obligations, while how makes reference to the legal aspects that give certainty and promote compliance with contracts. There- fore, the definition of the role a State plays, both regarding the economy as well as participation in the economic and social spheres of activity is determined by the way in which power structures have defined the division of labour among its different institutional levels (Popper 1945, p. 300).From a non-orthodox point of view, the State and the market grapple in a hostile battle over the definition of public and private interests. In this dispute, the intervention of the State is justified with the argument that it cannot remain idle when the natural tendency of the market is to favour the interests of only a few actors (Hirschman 2002, p. ix). In the case of the media, especially in Europe, the participation of the State in the media market becomes visible.

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 EuropePart II: A Comparative Analysis of Public Service Media across EuropeWith 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. »
