“…Therefore, new regulation may consider other tools to foster diversity like the use of network analysis before the approval of new mergers and acquisitions. A new role of public television may also be evaluated (Ohlsson and Sjøvaag, 2019). On top of that, the increasing concern about excessive advertising among almost all viewers may require a more effective regulation on such matter.…”

This article examines the evolution of the attitudes of Spanish viewers to television from 2008 to 2016. This has been a period of time characterised by a substantial increase in the number of television channels. More specifically, the analysis is focused on audience satisfaction, perceptions of content quality and moral and pragmatic concerns. The data used in the empirical analysis come from three rounds of a survey conducted in 2008, 2012 and 2016. The size of the sample is 1,000 respondents for each year. The findings suggest that the attitudes to television have remained very stable in spite of the changes in the growth of the offer and technological upgrading.

“…erefore, the government cannot bear the public responsibility; on the contrary, it should formulate the relevant laws and regulations for the management and supervision of enterprises and nongovernmental organizations and bear the corresponding responsibilities [15]. Public service can be marketized, but public responsibility cannot be marketized [16,17]. e loss of state-owned assets, reflected in the loss of government finance and state-owned enterprises, will eventually damage the interests of the state.…”

With the development of China’s economy, people’s demand for public services is increasing. While meeting the public better through marketization, it is also easy to lead to some risks. The purpose of this study is to use the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to evaluate the risk of public service marketization and make effective measures to avoid it. This study selects the Public Gymnasiums in different districts of our city as the research object and selects one as the nationalized public service place and the other as the market-oriented public service place. In this study, the amount of service, service equipment, service supervision status, and people’s score under the situation of nationalization and marketization is used as the evaluation indexes of public service marketization. At the same time, combined with the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), the risks to the normal operation of the place after marketization are summarized. The results show that the turnover of the nationalized public service places is about 40 million yuan in the past five years, and the capital flow rate gradually decreases from 1.5%; while the market-oriented turnover reaches the maximum of 90 million yuan, the capital flow rate also rises to 2.21%. However, with the marketization, the scores are high and low. This shows that the marketization of public services leads to the improvement of service items and the increase of service charges. The conclusion is that the marketization of public services will have certain risks, but with the control and fine adjustment of enterprises, it is gradually supported by the public.

“…The persistent regulatory argument is that, especially in small media markets, an all-commercial media system would result in media failure (Doyle, 2013; Larsen, 2011; Moe, 2008). However, there are significant tension between PSB and private media, and regulators face challenges in their attempt to regulate both private and public media to complement each other, while both serving the public interest (Ohlson and Sjøvaag, 2018). This challenge has escalated as a result of digital platforms, not least because private media consider themselves unfairly regulated both in relation to the digital platforms and the PSBs.…”

Digital platforms such as Google, Facebook and Netflix have caused a watershed moment not only for markets and businesses but also for media policy. Concerns about the US-based digital platforms’ impact on national media markets have grown among European media businesses as well as policy makers. Media policy research argues that small media markets are particularly vulnerable to global players and foreign influence, but that market size must be understood also in the context of political traditions. This article investigates how digital platforms influence media policy for private media businesses in the small media systems of Norway and Flanders. Drawing on 20 qualitative interviews with CEOs and top-level media managers in these two small media markets, we ask what private media businesses expect from policy makers in light of the intensified competition from digital platforms, what experience they have with cooperating with policy makers and what explains the differences between Norway and Flanders. A key finding is that the managers in both markets want policy makers to regulate digital platforms to secure level playing field, and that the Norwegian respondents had more positive experiences with co-regulation and expressed more trust in policy makers and policy instruments, compared to the Flemish. Despite the global players and the need for transnational solutions, regional variations in policy making still matters, and might inform the discussion about how to regulate the digital platforms.
