Some 45 delegates from 26 countries across the globe began today a review of the needs and directions of public service broadcasting in Asia-Pacific as they participate in a seminar on ‘Creating and Enabling Environment for Public Service Broadcasting (PSB)’ in Bangkok.

The one-day seminar aims to generate ‘out of the box’ and new ideas about PSB, particularly in the digital world. Sally-Ann Wilson, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, serves as the facilitator of the seminar organized and supported by AIBD, CBA, and UNESCO.

Topics covered include discussions and debate on the concept of PSB, future needs of audiences and citizens from PSB, possibilities for PSB in Asia, editorial values and potential of digital/new media content to strengthen PSB in South Asia.

The seminar is expected to generate some guidelines and recommendations to strengthen the development of free, independent and pluralistic media in South Asia.

Henrik Keith, former Editor-in-chief and Head of TV News, DR, Copenhagen, urges heads of newsrooms to be both a manager and leader in effecting change so that they are able to move effectively from the current state of affairs to a new future, one where a clear vision and strategy is defined and where the news people are actively engaged to ensure success in implementing the change.

Mr. Masanori Kondo, Director of International Economic Affairs Division, Global ICT Strategy Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan, has cited the numerous advantages of using the ISDBT standard in digital broadcasting that will enable TV companies and other stakeholders to fully maximize the benefits of the digital era.
