Democracy & PSM
EBU
Abstract
A healthy democracy is strongly linked to a healthy public service media.
‘Democracy & PSM’ demonstrates how countries with robust public service broadcasting systematically rank higher in core democratic indicators. Our correlations show the benefits associated with a strong and well-funded public broadcaster.
The research shows that in countries where PSM is well-funded and enjoys a high market share:
- People are more active in politics
- There is more political stability and an absence of violence
- Corruption is under control
