Helping EBU Members to analysis how far they comply with their public service remits
The concept
The PSM review provides EBU Members with a customized analysis of whether they are achieving their missions in terms of ‘Empowering Society’, a declaration of the six core values that distinguish PSM from other media organizations.
The benefits for Members are:
Professional assessment of their current situation with suggestions for improvement and further developments based on the experience of other PSM organizations
Critical self-assessment
Highlighting strategic political and societal value
On request, customized expertise (training, human resources, legal, governance)
After the review and on request a follow-up support from EBU Academy
Conducting the review
Participation in the peer-to-peer review is voluntary and available to any Member of the EBU. It is structured in two complementary parts:
1. Self-assessment report
The self-assessment report sets out the framework and reveals the management’s own perception of the media organization.
2. On-site review
The on-site review allows peers to observe the internal dynamics within the organization, the corporate culture and realities at grass roots (including best practices), delving deeper than the answers to the self-assessment questionnaire.

The following report assesses the management practices of Český rozhlas (Czech Radio, CR for short), the Czech public service radio broadcaster, and the quality of the content it provides, according to the public service values defined by the EBU in 2012 in Strasbourg. This report is based on the self-assessment performed by CR, in conjunction with the on-site review carried out in Prague by an international peer group on 18-20 September 2018.
The objectives of this report are to:
Provide CR with a statement on its current situation, highlighting best practices, as well as suggested areas for improvement.
Provide CR with recommendations and suggestions to help the media organisation adapt to the challenges it faces, and shape its strategy for the 2019-2022 period.
Provide other media organisations with ideas to improve their internal processes, develop best practices, and challenge their own understanding of public service values.
This report reflects the peer group’s observations, opinions, and suggestions as to their analysis of CR’s self-assessment and their on-site review. It starts with general comments. This is followed by an overview of CR’s performance, benchmarked against the six public service values (universality, independence, excellence, diversity, accountability and innovation). Finally, it highlights a set of best practices (actions, ideas, activities and programmes) which is meant to serve as a model for other EBU Members.
