Public broadcasting includes radio, television and other electronic media outlets whose primary mission is public service. In much of the world, funding comes from the government, especially via annual fees charged on receivers. In the United States, public broadcasters may receive some funding from both federal and state sources, but generally most financial support comes from underwriting by foundations and businesses ranging from small shops to corporations, along with listener contributions via pledge drives. The great majority are operated as private not-for-profit corporations.
Public broadcasting may be nationally or locally operated, depending on the country and the station. In some countries, public broadcasting is run by a single organization. Other countries have multiple public broadcasting organizations operating regionally or in different languages. Historically, public broadcasting was once the dominant or only form of broadcasting in many countries (with the notable exception of the United States). Commercial broadcasting now also exists in most of these countries; the number of countries with only public broadcasting declined substantially during the latter part of the 20th century.

The Denver-based startup Pixorial just launched its new app, Krowds. It got our attention because the app helps strangers at public events share unlimited video. The man behind the App is Andres Espineira. He says think about friends at a concert shooting from different seats ... or even parents at a school recital. "Imagine you get to that recital, you create a crowd — and a crowd are these groups that you can create on the fly and that can have as many people as you want — so you can start contributing video and other parents start contributing video. And there are no limits on length," Espineira says. The key, says Espineira, is that you if you missed something or someone else was much closer, you can check out other people's videos to see from their vantage point.
