What is the point of a public broadcaster? Some argue that they shouldn’t exist; that the government has no business owning a broadcaster. So why have a public broadcaster? A public broadcaster is that it is the only type of broadcaster that can put its audience’s interests first, ahead of its revenue source. A public broadcaster can make programs that aren’t widely popular but that benefit the community. Private broadcasters can indeed handle a lot of the entertainment and informing of the public, but there are some things they will never be able to do. For the media landscape to be truly diverse, robust and inclusive we need the public broadcasters.
