psb

PSB is an acronym that can refer to several organizations and concepts across politics, media, and public policy. The two most common references are Public Service Broadcasting and Partido Socialista Brasileiro, the Brazilian Socialist Party.

Public service broadcasting refers to a model of radio and television provision intended to serve the public interest rather than commercial profit. PSB systems typically aim to ensure universal access, diverse programming, and editorial independence, funded and governed separately from commercial media. Structures vary by country, but PSB obligations often arise from legislation or licensing and are overseen by independent regulators and public broadcasters. Critics question funding and political influence, while supporters emphasize universal service and cultural and educational content.

Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB) is a Brazilian political party founded in 1985 by dissidents from other parties in the wake of redemocratization. The party identifies with social democracy and center-left policies, prioritizing social inclusion, labor rights, and progressive reforms. PSB participates in national and state elections and has contributed to government coalitions at various times, with influence at different levels of Brazilian politics. The party promotes pluralism, social welfare, and environmental concerns within a broad left-of-center platform.

Other uses: PSB is an acronym that can appear in various regional, corporate, or organizational names. Because PSB is not uniquely identifying, the intended meaning depends on context.
