Ownership Concepts:  Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) - This refers to broadcasting of both TV and Radio, which is intended as a service for the general public. This has the base value to  " inform, educate and entertain " (quoted by the first director general and founder of the BBC, Lord Reith ) : in that order. As a result of this, they aim to serve the public rather than sell them to commercials.  An example of this is the BBC , who, when were first setting up looked at America's radio, and how it was filled with content that catered for the  lowest common denominator i.e cheap entertainment for mass audiences.   They didn't want this to be associated with their television or radio; they wanted it to be morally uplifting, and so, invented the  television license fee so they didn't have to be government or commercially funded.

This is practically  impossible as choices have to be made for the news to arrive on our screen, whether this is choosing which cities and areas to monitor or the choice of the camera's position.
