Professional Debate on Developing the Public Service Broadcasting in the Arab Region

On December 15, 2011, the Professional Debate on “Developing the Public Service Broadcasting in the Arab Region” was held in Tunis during the 31st ordinary session of the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) General Assembly.

The ASBU has chosen to organize the debate during the General Assembly given the fact that the Arab broadcasting landscape has been going through profound changes in the development of communication technologies and the unprecedented political, social and economic strife in some Arab countries.

Panelists of the debate included university professors, experts as well as Arab broadcasters and representatives from international broadcasting organizations. They discussed legal and regulatory issues, as well as ways and means to finance the Arab public broadcasting sector.

The 31st ordinary session of the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) General Assembly was held from December 14-16, 2011 in Tunis, Tunisia. This year’s ASBU General Assembly was held at the ASBU Secretariat in Tunis. More than 130 delegates from ASBU member states and international observers including EBU, DW, CFI, ABU and AIBD took part in the 3-day meeting. AIBD Director Yang Binyuan attended the General Assembly as an observer.
