Abstract

The chapter discusses theoretically and empirically to what extent CSR is on the agenda of the management of the big European media outlets. While internal CSR instruments are used by most big European media companies, the media industry as a whole obviously does not set the benchmark for competing with integrity. The debate on CSR seems to be limited to criticizing others and lacks reflection within the media industry in general and within media corporations in particular. Furthermore, media companies in Europe don’t yet fully communicate their CSR efforts and seem to underestimate the potential of CSR for its business.

see for an overview Bromley, Göttlich, and Winter (1999).

If we look at the empirical findings, we must draw into consideration that the public broadcasters BBC and ARD are bound by law—e.g. the BBC which operates under a Royal Charter—and that these regulations require several CSR aspects in terms of information, education or entertainment.
