The structural advantages of the public broadcasting model for local news production and what the barriers to extending it are

What Local News Can Learn From Public Broadcasting

The public broadcasting model -- funding journalism through public subsidy rather than advertising or subscription revenue -- has produced the most consistent local journalism in the UK (BBC Local, regional ITV) and in several other countries (ABC Australia, CBC Canada, NRK Norway) whose local news coverage has not experienced the collapse that commercial local journalism has undergone in the same period. The structural reason: the public broadcasting model decouples journalism from the advertising market whose collapse has driven commercial local journalism's crisis.

The Detail

The US public media model -- NPR and PBS -- has maintained quality journalism at the national level but has not produced the density of local accountability journalism that the BBC's local radio network or regional television coverage provides. The structural difference: the BBC's license fee funding model produces guaranteed local coverage commitments; the US CPB funding model produces grants to local public broadcasters whose local journalism capacity varies significantly by market size and fundraising success.

The Analysis

JournoNews covers public broadcasting as a local journalism model because the commercial model has demonstrated that it cannot sustain local accountability journalism at adequate scale, and the public model's structural advantages deserve the specific policy attention that would make them available to more of the local news environment that needs them.
