Las negociaciones de paz entre el gobierno nacional y las FARC avanzan de modo considerable. Al momento del cierre del presente informe –julio de 2014–, se construyó un acuerdo sobre los tres primeros puntos de la agenda –la reforma agraria, la participación política y las drogas ilícitas–. Sin duda la negociación progresa, los puntos sobre los que se trazó un acuerdo tocan dimensiones neurálgicas de la vida colectiva: el agro y su atraso histórico, la democracia y sus cierres, el narcotráfico y el gigantesco mundo ilegal que arrastra. Todo indica que al fin habrá un pacto para la terminación del conflicto armado con las FARC. La aspiración a la paz ganó las elecciones presidenciales de junio de 2014, empujada por una amplia convergencia de fuerzas políticas y sociales.

Public service media is today challenged on every front. Publics and politicians see the commercial approach as the 'normal' way to organise broadcasting. There are strong pressures to downsize PSM organisations, to limit investment options, to restrict online and digital operations, to narrow remits to genres and for audiences that are not commercially attractive, and for increasingly intrusive assessment procedures. The principles no longer resonate very widely and there is growing criticism about a decline in distinctiveness. Even among traditional allies, support is flagging and skepticism is growing.In Europe the institution has not yet presented a coherent and convincing strategy attuned for relevance in the 21st century. PSM has lost or is in danger of losing the initiative. At the same time, there are promising efforts to develop PSM in regions and countries lacking a domestic history with PSB – to gain the initiative for building PSM. This 5th RIPE Reader incorporates a wider purview as an outgrowth of proceedings from the RIPE@2010 conference that convened in London 8-11 September to address the theme, Public Service Media After the Recession. The book is divided into four sections, reflecting the varied and distinctive narratives of PSB around the world.
