Project description
Digitalization challenges public service media. How can public broadcasters compete with new providers like Netflix and YouTube? How can they fulfill their mandate to foster public opinion formation? What role do their media centers play? In the Coding Public Value (CPV) project, the focus was on developing suitable software. Two central questions were at the forefront: How can legal, political, and user-oriented requirements for public service media be implemented in software? What institutional, political, and organizational conditions must be met to operate media platforms based on a public value-oriented software engineering approach? The project brought together disciplines such as science and technology studies, media and communication research, law, and empirical software engineering in interdisciplinary collaboration. In the course of the project, fortiss experts developed a guide for software development in public service media organizations. This guide provided the framework for gathering and documenting legal, political, and institutional requirements based on public values. It was based on the requirement artifact model developed in the project, which served as a systematic guide for developing appropriate software requirements.
The project was completed by 30 June, 2023.
