Analysis of the Relation Between and Impact of Public Service Media and Private Media

The Reuters Institute prepared this report for the Ministry of Culture - Denmark.

The purpose of this report is to map relevant academic and stakeholder (industry/regulatory) research on the relation between public service media and private sector media with regard to their political impact, social impact, and market impact.

The report maps what we know, where there is disagreement, and what we do not know, with a special emphasis on implications for Denmark.
