Abstract / Summary

In recent decades, minoritised languages in Europe have become increasingly visible and connected, leading to the formation and evolution of minority language Public Service Broadcasters. Cornwall is under represented by the existing public service broadcasters and despite Cornwall's national minority status and Cornish language being recognised by the EU and UK government, it is the only national minority and only indigenous language in the UK without its own media service. It is timely, then, to propose the formation of a Cornish Public Service Media (PSM) – an engaging new model, harnessing technological developments with regenerative, social and environmental principles at its core.

Screen Cornwall is leading the development of a Case for Cornish Public Service Media, working with consultants Denzil Monk and Mandy Berry to drive forward recommendations of a scoping study commissioned by Cornwall Council in 2019 and a summary report published in March 2020. The Screen Cornwall team manages the annual Cornish language short film award ‘FylmK’ and has recently commissioned a pilot for the first ever Cornish language children’s series ‘Porth’.

This report outlines our consultation delivery activities and summarises the outputs and outcomes at the exit point of this contracted piece of work concluding with a set of strategic actionable recommendations including an urgent request for resourcing time-sensitive opportunities.
