About
Welcome to PSM Call Out, our dedicated space for public media advocacy
PSM Call Out is our permanent platform for standing up for public service media (PSM) when it matters most. As threats to editorial independence, funding, and the very existence of public media intensify globally, this campaign consolidates our statements, advocacy efforts, and collective actions into one clear, ongoing call.
Here you will find PMA’s official responses, insight reports, policy briefings, consultation submissions, and ways to take action — whether by signing open letters, sharing developments in your country, or helping us raise the alarm. PSM Call Out is how we rally together to protect the future of independent, trusted public media around the world.
PSM Call Out is a campaign led solely by the Public Media Alliance Secretariat and reflects PMA’s independent advocacy positions. The views expressed through this platform do not necessarily represent those of our members, partner initiatives such as the Global Task Force for Public Media, or other organisations of which PMA is a member.
