And there you have the case in point. Auntie, for better or worse, is
the best we have. Radio, television, and now Internet. BBC
Worldservice is a world brand, because of the quality and the
veracity of the content. It never had to sell itself, it just was on
the only voice of authority and truth that reason so many nations in
the world.
The masses can have the mass media. I want quality. At the moment for
me that means Radio 4. I don't do telly at the moment.
Public service broadcasting (the BBC, Channel 4 etc) cannot and
should not "compete" in the market place.
