NOTAS: | "This publication focuses on the de jure independence of PSM by analysing their governance in a selection of countries covering all four cardinal directions in Europe, which display different regulatory traditions. It explains, for each country, the structure of the national public service broadcaster and its legal form, its managerial and supervisory structure, the way key appointments are made, the safeguards concerning dismissals, and the ways in which the independence of the PSM is protected from political interference. It also presents the European legal framework, describes self-regulatory initiatives, and highlights relevant European and national case-law." |
