Abstract
In view of a perceived crisis of legitimacy of public service broadcasting (PSB) and societal debates concerning its functional mandate, this article examines the integration mandate of PSB. It examines how the use of PSB is related to perceived representation and the subjective perception of social cohesion. The results indicate that a more intensive use of public service news services is associated with both a higher perception of representation and a more pronounced sense of community as an indicator of social cohesion. The findings thus underline the social importance of independent, diverse broadcasting.
