The #FCC Must Reject Efforts to Lock Up Public #Airwaves
President Trump’s attack on public #broadcasting has attracted plenty of deserved attention, but there’s a far more technical, far more insidious policy change in the offing—one that will take away Americans’ right to unencumbered access to our publicly owned airwaves.

"The BBC is the heart of the UK’s media system. Yet despite the BBC being publicly funded, the public have no control over how it works.
Politicians have too much power to pressure the BBC, and it is struggling to compete against global streaming services and social media companies. Without radical reform, the BBC faces a bleak future of dwindling audiences and the loss of public trust.
By the end of 2027 the government is required to renew the BBC’s Royal Charter, which will set the terms of how the BBC operates for the next decade. The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has said she supports mutualising the BBC, with new structures for “genuine public representation and participation”.
This briefing explains how to transform the BBC into a new kind of institution: a public service mutual. Mutual organisations are run for the benefit of their members, and members are actively and directly involved in its operations.
As a public service mutual, the BBC will belong to all of us by right. We will all become BBC members — active and direct participants in its mission to inform, educate, entertain and connect.
Democratic mutualisation of the BBC requires that all members have two new powers, which together secure public representation and participation:"

“A #Coalition government would divert more than 10% of annual government funding for #CreativeAustralia to a single cultural project and unspecified broadcasting programs if elected at Saturday’s federal election.
In the Coalition’s #PolicyCostings, released on Thursday, the “safe, sustainable and connected communities” section contained a pledge to “#redirect” $33.2m of Creative Australia’s annual #funding of $312m “to #MelbourneJewishArtsQuarter and supporting #broadcasting”.
The quarter is a planned new centre celebrating Jewish #arts, #culture, #food and #shopping in #Elsternwick in #Melbourne.”
Entitlement. Since the LNP has no policy, the funding could be more than the stated 10%.

Georgia's main independent TV channel closes.
The clampdown on Georgian media is accelerating.
Starting Thursday, 1 May, the opposition-aligned television channel Mtavari will cease broadcasting amid Tbilisi's growing rapprochement with Moscow and persecution of opponents by the pro-Russian governing party, Georgian Dream.
