Public Media

Public media refers to media organizations that are funded and operated to serve the public interest rather than for profit. This includes television, radio, and digital platforms that provide news, educational content, cultural programming, and entertainment. Public media aims to inform, educate, and entertain diverse audiences, often offering content not driven by commercial interests or advertising. Examples include PBS and NPR in the United States. These organizations typically rely on government support, donations, and grants to maintain independence and prioritize quality, impartiality, and community service over commercial profitability.
