Abstract
Funding and transparency of public service media (PSM) have constituted key media policy themes – and matters of considerable public debate – in Germany for some time now. The latter serves as the starting point for this book, which not only describes topical developments and discussions surrounding Germany’s public broadcasters but also assesses transparency and funding in 14 international PSM systems. Elaborating on the links between policy-making communities and academia, this chapter give a first introduction to the German developments and debates. At the same time, it explains the choice of cases and provides for an overview of the contributions that follow.
