“…The design of this analytical model is somewhat different from the earlier work of Donders, et al (2012), its clearest point of reference. First, it focuses on the views of top managers of innovation within PSM organisations and not on all of the stakeholders.…”

“…There are no established methodologies for its study and the debate on alternative theories to approach the issue has arisen (Rogers & Sparviero, 2011). One of the few studies on innovation and public service media is that of Donders et al (2012) on Flanders. The article joins government rhetorics on innovation and their derived policy actions through the public service media.…”

In the context of media and Information Society policies, there has been profound controversy in Europe with respect to the legitimate use of new technologies by public service media. Through qualitative interviews and policy documents analysis with a case study, this article illustrates how three Spanish public service media organizations apply technological innovations in order to successfully achieve their public service remit; the article thereby provides one of the first studies of innovation management in this field.Lessons from this paper include the difficult accountability of innovation, the non-formal nature of its practice, the central role of techno-enthusiasts and the bureaucratic problems of developing open innovation practices.innovation policy, media innovation, media management, media policy, public service media, Spain

Taking the case of the relationship between small European public broadcasters and the international content sales activities of BBC Worldwide, this contribution analyses if and to what extent the commercial arm of public service media institution BBC is strengthening the hegemonic position of Anglo-Saxon content in European media markets, and undermining the objectives public broadcasters stand for. To this end, it takes a comparative approach, combining and triangulating results from analysis of relevant documents, from BBC Worldwide and from public broadcasters that acquire their programmes, with data from semi-structured expert interviews with representatives from small European public broadcasters' acquisition departments. Results indicate that, despite its public service claims, BBC Worldwide is an international content distributor like any other and that its activities contribute to cultural homogenization of audiovisual content in Europe, thus limiting small European public broadcasters' possibilities for content universality, creativity, diversity and quality.
