On December 12, 2012, the professional debate on “The Future of Arab Public Service Broadcasting in the light of current changes” was held in Cairo during the 32nd ordinary session of the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) General Assembly.

The ASBU has chosen to organize the debate during the General Assembly given the fact that the Arab broadcasting landscape has gone through profound changes in the development of communication technologies and the unprecedented political, social and economic strife in some Arab countries.

11 panelists of the debate included university professors, experts as well as Arab broadcasters and representatives from international broadcasting organizations. They discussed content, professional standards, funding, management and organization as well as listeners and viewers’ rights for the Arab public service broadcasting sector.

The 32nd ordinary session of the ASBU General Assembly was held from December 11-13, 2012 in Cairo, Egypt. More than 100 delegates from ASBU member states and international observers including EBU, DW, CFI and AIBD took part in the 3-day meeting. AIBD Director Yang Binyuan attended the General Assembly as an observer.

The topics discussed during the meeting included ASBU participation in the Asia Media Summit 2012/2013, World Television Award in 2012/2013, host of the Asia Media Summit 2014 in Saudi Arabia, and joint training activities between ASBU and AIBD in 2012/2013 etc.
