The Public Media Alliance is the largest global association of public service broadcasters. Our members are the organisations that communicate daily and free of charge through TV, radio and online with the 2.5 billion citizens living in the countries that our members serve.
It is the only global membership organisation to focus specifically on public service broadcasting and public service media, with all members – regardless of their nation’s size or location – having full and equal membership.
Members of the Public Media Alliance are part of a unique international ‘family’ of media organisations that share many of the same values and priorities. The trusted and credible news and information provided by public media is vital to our lives and wellbeing but often undervalued by politicians and the public.
Non-public service media organisations can become Affiliate Members of PMA. More information can be found below.
PMA exists to increase awareness of public media and the very special and central part that it plays in informing us and shaping our worldview.

Affiliate membership is given to organisations that have a role to play in the wider public service media environment, such as independent regulators, civil society organisations, and foundations.
Media institutes, award bodies, academic institutions, and charities can also apply to be Affiliate members.
