Citizens also have the right to participate in social life and in public debate, both also takes place today in large part on radio and television. To ensure this, however, is hardly a civil rights issue of the free market (Briggs & Asa 1995, p. 26). It requires ensuring the existence of broadcasters who have a different task than their commercial competitors. Well-run public broadcasting enterprises provide the citizens with independent and thoroughly researched information they need for their guidance. In addition, in this first, that public broadcasting has an obligation to give different opinions and attitudes in the society a voice, and secondly, that for the citizens ultimately does not matter to decide between two brands, but about how they want to establish their lives.”
