»Die Rettung der demokratischen Kommunikation erfordert eine Erneuerung der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien und des Internets«

Manifest, 1.7.2021 (engl. Originalfassung)

Principle 1
Democracy and digital democracy require Public Service Media. We call for the
safeguarding of the existence of Public Service Media.

Principle 2
A democracy-enhancing Internet requires Public Service Media becoming Public
Service Internet platforms that help to advance opportunities and equality in society.
We call for the creation of the legal, economic and organisational foundations of
such platforms.

Principle 3
Public Service Media content is distinctive from commercial media and data
companies. It addresses citizens, not consumers.

Principle 4
Public Service Internet platforms realise fairness, democracy, participation, civic
dialogue and engagement on the Internet.

Principle 5
The Public Service Internet requires new formats, new content, and vivid cooperation with the creative sectors of our societies.

Principle 6
Public Service Media should continue to be supported and funded so that they have
the resources they need in order to realise and further develop their remit. In
addition, the Public Service Internet requires sustainable funding that is based on
mechanisms such as the licence fee, the Nordic model of a public service tax, and
transnational funding mechanisms.

Principle 7
The Public Service Internet promotes equality and diversity.

Principle 8
The Public Service Internet provides opportunities for public debate, participation,
and the advancement of social cohesion.

Principle 9
The Public Service Internet is a driver of change in the creation of new content and
services while creating a sustainable ecosystem for media innovations.

Principle 10
Public Service Media and the Public Service Internet contribute to a democratic,
sustainable, fair, just, and resilient society.
