This open access book presents the collectively authored Public Service Media and Public Service Internet Manifesto and accompanying materials. The Manifesto can be signed by visiting http://bit.ly/signPSManifesto The Internet and the media landscape are broken. The dominant commercial Internet platforms endanger democracy. They have created a communications landscape overwhelmed by surveillance, advertising, fake news, hate speech, conspiracy theories, and algorithmic politics. Commercial Internet platforms have harmed citizens, users, everyday life, and society. Democracy and digital democracy require Public Service Media. A democracy-enhancing Internet requires Public Service Media becoming Public Service Internet platforms – an Internet of the public, by the public, and for the public; an Internet that advances instead of threatens democracy and the public sphere. The Public Service Internet is based on Internet platforms operated by a variety of Public Service Media, taking the public service remit into the digital age. The Public Service Internet provides opportunities for public debate, participation, and the advancement of social cohesion. Accompanying the Manifesto are materials that informed its creation: Christian Fuchs' report of the results of the Public Service Media/Internet Survey, the written version of Graham Murdock's online talk on public service media today, and a summary of an ecomitee.com discussion of the Manifesto's foundations.

"Public Service Logic offers a ground-breaking approach to the delivery and management of public services. For the first time, it integrates insights both from public administration and management and from service management and marketing to offer this new approach. Previous models of public administration and management (such as the New Public Management) have been focused either upon the internal efficiency of public service organizations or upon how to 'add-in' citizens to public service delivery through co-production. This book offers a new approach with three core elements. First, it understands public services as 'services' with a service-dominant rather than product-dominant orientation. Second, it focuses upon adding external value to citizens and public service users rather than simply upon the internal efficiency of public service organizations. Third, it offers a coherent model of the nature and dimensions of 'value' in relation to public services and how it can be created (or destroyed) through public services delivery. Public Service Logic will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of public management and public administration, as well as to policy makers and public service managers"--

AbstractThis article looks forward, locating debates on public service broadcasting firmly within contemporary and future debates about technology regulation. Public service broadcasting has been a dominant theme in UK media policy since the creation of the BBC in 1922, aimed at delivering positive democratic and cultural outcomes. However, despite this rich heritage, and amidst widespread concerns about the social and democratic implications of 'digital dominance', the public service mission has failed fully to transcend its broadcasting origins and provide a model for a 'public service internet'. The article reviews the relationship between the for‐profit business models of the dominant technology platforms and potential civic and individual harms, past and failed attempts to reimagine 'public service' institutions in a digital age and identifies opportunities for scholars, activists and policy makers to reimagine public service alternatives for a platform society.

The public voucher system is a means of paying for a given public service. Vouchers are issued by the public authorities to individual users to enable them to gain access to any institution that is approved by the public authorities, for a specific purpose. The provider of the service is paid back the amount of the voucher by the public institution that provides the funding for the voucher. This system provides a means of reviewing the relationship between the user and the public service in terms of efficiency and freedom. The voucher system is designed to improve competition among public service providers and to make public service offerings more flexible. While it does offer some interesting possibilities in terms of diversification of the services on offer, nonetheless the voucher system poses certain risks. In particular, it may lead to community behaviour patterns among beneficiaries and undermine equal opportunity. In any case, as the voucher system brings closer together the practical arrangements for defraying services in the private and public sectors, it opens up some useful avenues of reflection for the modernization of public services.
