Strong PSM results in a greater democracy

According to a recent study by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), a well-funded and strong public-service media (PSM) goes hand in hand with sighs of a healthy democracy. The research study highlights that in country with a strong PSM there is a high degree of press freedom, better control of corruption, higher voter turnouts and last but not leas lower levels of right-wing extremism. According to Roberto Suárez Candel, who conducted the research study, this research is particularly interesting since current public debates focus on the issue of low participation in elections, corruption and rise of far right politics across Europe. The research study shows how string public TV and radio is connected to a greater democracy.
