public broadcaster

A public broadcaster is a media organization that operates with the primary goal of serving the public interest, rather than generating profit. It is typically funded by government support, viewer subscriptions, or donations. Public broadcasters provide a range of programming, such as news, educational content, documentaries, and entertainment, ensuring diverse and accessible content for all audiences. They aim to promote cultural values, inform citizens, and foster an informed society. Examples include the BBC in the UK and PBS in the United States, which focus on quality programming rather than commercial pressures.
