The Future of Public Service Media and the Internet

Utilising the eComitee platform, an active group of scholars and PSM experts discussed the future of Public Service Media and the Internet for a time period of two months. After the discussion in the four clusters was closed, Alessandro D’Arma, Christian Fuchs, Minna Horowitz, and Klaus Unterberger created a summary of the discussion.
