The Development of Public Service Broadcasting is a resource designed to support teaching and learning of AS/A Level Media Studies. The material is packaged in a CD-ROM and contains 19 PowerPoint slides, which outline the regulatory and legislative changes shaping public service and independent broadcasting in the UK from 1927 to present. The presentation has been divided into three sections; the defining characteristics of Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) in the UK, key stages in the development of Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) and the impact of deregulation and commercial broadcasting on the television sector. This structure allows teachers maximum flexibility when using the resource over a topic area or term time. Suggestions for further work are included in each section providing opportunities for a range of assessment strategies and activities including case studies, discussion, research and presentation. Written and designed for study of topic areas such as the history of public service and commercial broadcasting, media institutions and media determinants, the material is presented in a context appropriate for WJEC, AQA and OCR Media Studies.

Once purchased, the CD can be freely copied and networked throughout the school.
