public interest broadcasting

Public interest broadcasting refers to media services, such as radio and television, that aim to serve the general public's needs and interests rather than solely profit. These broadcasters focus on providing accurate information, educational content, cultural programming, and diverse viewpoints, ensuring access for all communities. Funded often by government support, license fees, or public funds, they are committed to serving the public good, promoting transparency, fostering democratic participation, and representing a broad range of perspectives, especially those underserved by commercial media.
