Already out there

Introduction

The uptake of broadband has been followed by a surge in innovative public service content. The video above contains a selection of the most exciting. Some of these experiments have been funded by public policy initiatives, some by existing institutions others by online communities or creative companies acting for themselves. Many are building significant online audiences but they remain little known to broadcasters and media policy experts.

We see them as prototypes of the types of Open Media Content the PSP could support and offer this guide as a snapshot for everyone of what is already being achieved. To make it more user-friendly the projects are grouped into the same categories used in the Open Media Content section.

Content led services:

Content led services: Content led services are about increasing access and adding value to the services, knowledge and experiences the public already pay for. They are designed to empower individuals or groups to get the best out of existing public investment in content or institutions.

Narrative experiences:

Narrative experiences: Narrative experiences provide the space for new forms of 'professional' content to be created - participatory dramas and factual experiences which will engage new audiences and make full creative use of networked media.

Community generated content:

Community generated content: Community Generated Content is where the PSP will connect people; supporting 'new' institutions in the form of content creating communities. These communities will create and deliver their own services for their use and will be both specialist and diverse.
