FT: Don’t Let Ofcom Redefine The Public Interest
Michael Prowse in the FT gives Ofcom’s Ed Richards something to think about over the bank holiday weekend.
In regard to establishing a central body to distribute public funds for PSB:
“…broadcasters would thus conceive of their public task as to satisfy the wants of a special type of consumer - Ofcom. As the public interest became redefined as just another purchasing demand to satisfy, alongside numerous private desires, the privatisation of what had been a partly public domain would be complete.”
