The hardback edition of this book was published five years ago, and was reviewed in the journal by Thomas Gibbons who, despite various criticisms, found it 'an impressive piece of research' (see EJC, 24:2, 2007, pp. 239-342). Gibbons found the surveys of public service broadcasting in six European countries, featuring the BBC, France Televisions, Television Espanola, Radio Telefis Eireann, Sveriges Television and ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation), to be comprehensive and detailed descriptions of key trends affecting PSB across Europe. Since the first publication, there have been various policy developments, not least the threat to the values and viability of PSB which is increasingly posed by neoliberal economic agendas.
