The paper, co-authored by Dan Martin and Catherine Johnson (both University of Leeds), examines how UK policy makers are redefining the value of universality in the transition from public service broadcasting (PSB) to public service media (PSM). Presenting findings from an analysis of key and contemporary media policy and regulatory documents, the article demonstrates how universality has become a key battleground in current debates around the future of PSM.
