Diverse and distinctive: How culture powers public service media
The third edition of ABU and Radio Romania’s international forum Media & Culture Days will take place in Bucharest, Romania on 16-17 November 2023. The annual initiative focuses on public media’s role in producing and promoting culture and heritage in all its forms.
This year’s conference, titled “Diverse and distinctive: How culture powers public service media”, will examine high value cultural content, diversity, and inclusion, with particular focus on broadcasting for national, regional and local communities. The conference aims to reinforce PSM’s core value as cohesive cultural engines, able to gather people around their common values, roots, heritage and diverse identities, and provide possible answers to our concerns and projections towards an increasingly globalised future.
Public Service Media are both the creators and the beneficiaries of their country’s culture. There is a deep and symbiotic relationship between their content and culture, so a central session will explore that relationship and examine how broadcasters (including online) can support a nation’s cultural capital while making sure they get their own dividend from it to sustain their business and satisfy and grow their domestic audiences.
