 This article is about public broadcasters, not state media who receive some government support but do not maintain editorial independence. See list of state media by country for broadcasters where the government has editorial say and if adding a broadcaster, try to cite reliable sources that argue that the broadcaster is not in fact state media |
Definitions edit
What are the differences between "public broadcasting service", "state owned media" and "state run media"? BBC is entirely funded and controlled by the British government, while on the opposite extreme PBS is independent and receives only a little bit of funding from the US government. RT is somewhere between the two, but it's not listed on here for some reason. Why?72.193.159.54 (talk) 07:44, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Public broadcasters may receive funding but are editorially independent. State-run media is where politicians control the content. Typically found in authoritarian regimes, where public media is found more in democratic systems. Superb Owl (talk) 04:51, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- All the public broadcasters of your list are dependant of States where they are localized. Ask any people who are from these different countries. 46.193.169.162 (talk) 09:41, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Proposing a split to create a "State media" list edit
Given the definition of public broadcasting as having editorial independence, many of the broadcasters listed here instead meet the definition of state-run media. Begun splitting this list into two by creating a new article using World Press Freedom Index to determine (until a discussion or further research can happen) which broadcasters remain and which move to the List of state media by country.

- Alternatively, we could simply merge them back together under the title 'Publicly-funded broadcasters' to not have to parse which are state media and which have editorial independence... Superb Owl (talk) 22:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
How to note public media becoming state media? edit
Should we put the years in parentheses when the broadcaster was editorially independent of its government? Superb Owl (talk) 05:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Reminder to check List of State Media before adding a broadcaster edit
Pinging all editors from the past couple months to check List of state media by country first to make sure a duplicate isn't being added on this page, which is only for outlets with editorial independence from their governments.

Am going to explore restricting edits to verified users if we keep having issues. Superb Owl (talk) 20:32, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Is this an intentional sabotage? The entire section for South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and more is being removed. Tomy0000000 (talk) 05:02, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Tomy0000000, I restored the article to the version before the vandalism occurred - thank you for catching this and we may need to flag that IP address Superb Owl (talk) 22:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
