“…Milton (2021) has recommended that in South Africa, where there are many television viewers and radio listeners dependent on PSB, alternative approaches should be initiated toward reforming SABC, so as to ensure it becomes inclusive and there would be choices for many of its audiences. While reflecting on PSB models and the potential to reform them and enhance their accountability roles in some African States, Mano and Milton (2020) recommend that PSBs should engage with civil society organizations, as doing so can prove fruitful to deepening public interests. Therefore, in consideration of the problems associated with the limitations of SB such as ownership and control by the State, and the challenges faced by PSB such as limited budgets and interference by the State, there is a need to explore how a national television should be structured in a developing country context.…”

This paper uses the political economy framework to examine developments surrounding the establishment and structuring of Botswana Television since its introduction as a national broadcaster in 2000. The focus is to identify the broadcasting model for Btv, and establish whether PSB or SB would be appropriate for a national television in Botswana context. Data obtained through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews showed that Btv has always been funded and structured to operate from either the Government Ministry of Transport and Communications, or the Office of the President. Consequently, the channel’s broadcasts are predisposed toward the ideologies of the ruling elites, than those of the public. Therefore, we argue that Btv should be re-structured and allowed to operate in the interests of both the state and public. Doing so could result in collective use of state media and safeguard against unnecessary government control. Thus, for developing contexts such as Botswana, we suggest a hybrid model of both PSB and SB.

The purpose of this research is to examine how best to measure the effect of government reform on public services in Ukraine. The purpose of this research was to examine the meaning of public service, the function of government, and the difficulties and consequences of implementing these ideas. The study overview defines public service and the government's function in this realm of service to the public. Improving service quality, institutional change, community engagement, protection of human rights, and partnership with the private sector and other partners are often highlighted as means of maximizing government's role. The study's findings highlight the need of investing in strong governance, openness, and citizen engagement in order to provide high-quality public services. Inadequate funding, political instability, opposition to reform, corruption, and a lack of public knowledge are just some of the problems highlighted by an examination of Ukraine's public service sector. In addition, we assess the results and consequences of enhancing the government's role in providing public services in Ukraine. As part of the evaluation process, we aim to enhance service quality, efficiency, excellent management, openness and accountability, public engagement, and equity. Challenges and restrictions in putting these plans into action may, however, undermine them.

“…Demokrasi makanya mempersyaratkan adanya PSB yang selalu menjalin interaksi dengan warga sipil. Jejaring kerjasama kolaboratif antara masyarakat sipil dengan PSB akan menciptakan sebuah konteks yang memungkinkan PSB untuk meredefinisi ulang misi, memperbaharui dan menata struktur dan kinerja penyiaran lembaga secara berkelanjutan (Mano, Winston., Milton, 2020).…”

The publicness character of the Indonesia Republic Radio/RRI is both historical as well as legal necessity. RRI was born from the historical process as a struggle radio to seize and defend independence from colonialists. This true identity that is embodied in the spirit of public service ethos is getting stronger after the enactment of Government Regulation No. 11/2005 and 12/2005 concerning public service broadcasting and RRI public service broadcasting respectively. The duty of serving the needs and interests of the public must be the "spirit" which drives its whole operational activities of broadcasting and institutional governance. For this reason, various efforts have been made, such as improving governance and expanding the broadcast network area. To answer the demands of media digitization, the adoption of media convergence technology in the form of the launch of the RRI Play Go application has also been carried out. This has changed it from a public service broadcasting institution (PSB) to a public service media (PSM). Its public character as a public service broadcast radio must be put forward by placing the public as citizens (citizens) active participants both in the process of planning and implementing broadcast program content as well as media institutional governance. Through PSM, the interaction between media managers and citizens can be established. The process of involving citizens in the production process of media content is also easily facilitated. For this reason, their role in supervising and evaluating media management must be more substantial to ensure the public character of RRI. Based on this, this study aims to examine the form of public participation in supervising and evaluating broadcasting and media management of RRI. More specifically, what is the role of the Audience Council Forum Komunikasi Pemerhati of RRI Malang in carrying out this function.
