A Comparison of Notion about Public Service Broadcasting of the International and Thai Contexts and the State of Knowledge towards Thai PBS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this article were 1) to compare the international and Thai perspectives in terms of public broadcasting service (PBS) concept and 2) to study the state of the knowledge towards Thai PBS. The results showed that the PBS system in the international context was divided between the state and commercial broadcasting systems. While from the Thai perspective, the PBS as mentioned is classified as part of the state, non-profit organization, and higher education broadcasting systems which were called public service broadcasting. The main source of the international PBS budgets was found to be derived from the licence fee, federal funding, subscription charge, and income from intellectual property which differs from the Thai PBS that receives funding from the alcohol and tobacco tax. The state of knowledge towards Thai PBS is composed of four aspects: roles of Thai PBS (53.3%), organization and institution (20.0%), content and discourse (13.3%), corporate image and audience gratification (13.3%). The future research on Thai PBS should focus on digital context as it causes changes in communication technology, audience lifestyles, and social fragmentation, including the role of Thai PBS towards the southernmost Thailand peace process which is still in the gap of knowledge.
