Our project presented in the panel of the Polish Communication Associaton, titled “Reinventing Public Service Media in the Age of Platforms”.

Chairing the panel was Iwona Hofman, President of the Polish Communication Association. The panel took place at Capital 2, Hyatt Regency Denver on Sunday, June 15th from 4:30 – 5:45pm MT.

“Reinventing Public Service Media for the Age of Platforms” uses multilayered analytical prisms to uncover challenges in public service media (PSM). Before focusing on broader contexts for PSM news and journalism, the panel examines platform challenges, regulation, and organisational obstacles. Overall, it disseminates findings from three international comparative research projects, using Western and Central European case studies and diverse research methodologies.
