public broadcasters
Noncommercial media outlets
Public broadcasters are radio and television networks funded primarily by governments, viewer donations, or licensing fees rather than commercial advertising.
Examples include the BBC, PBS, and NPR.
They typically emphasize educational content, news, and cultural programming over entertainment driven by ratings: Public broadcasters often cover stories that commercial networks ignore.
