The document summarizes trends affecting European public service broadcasting. It notes increasing complexity from internationalization, market consolidation, and new platforms and devices fragmenting audiences. Consumption trends show television viewing remaining steady while internet use grows, challenging public broadcasters to be where audiences are across platforms. Public trust in media is declining in Europe as public broadcasters struggle with questions around their legitimacy, role, and accountability to citizens, markets, and states. The document argues public broadcasters contribute to European culture, democracy, and innovation if their value is properly understood.
