This information contained in this new report is presented in the form of 14 different country profiles, the countries in question having been chosen because of the particularity of their public broadcasting systems and in order to document different regulatory models. The first part of each profile looks at the regulatory framework in each country which defines the mission of its public broadcaster as well as analysing the economic and financing model of its structure. The second part of each country profile looks at the influence of national or cultural aspects on the respective public service broadcaster as well as examining the way in which each country's cultural diversity is reflected in its public broadcaster's structure.
