Public Service Publisher Discussion Resources
Public Service Publisher Discussion Resources
The “Public Service Publisher” (working title) initiative is a grassroots effort on the part of public radio and television executives and independent producers to work toward the establishment of a next-generation digital distribution service for public service programming in the United States. It would distribute to citizens audio and video content online and over other distribution platforms via a web-based interface both for both free and compensated use. As envisioned, it would also provide “business-to-business” services relating to public service content and provide support for the broadcast distribution of public service programming. This service would aggregate both content and tools to provide improved access to programming and cost savings to providers.
