British Public Service Broadcaster
The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is one of the world's oldest and most well-known media organizations, providing a wide range of television, radio, and online services.
The BBC is funded primarily by a television license fee paid by households in the UK that watch live television or use the BBC’s online services. This funding model helps ensure that the BBC operates independently from commercial and governmental pressures, with a focus on public service content, such as news, education, and entertainment.
As a public broadcaster, the BBC is expected to maintain editorial impartiality, especially in its news coverage. It is one of the most respected and trusted sources of news globally. The BBC is an important institution in the UK, playing a key role in British culture, media, and society. Its public service mandate distinguishes it from many commercial broadcasters, and it remains a major player in global media.
