Organisational Culture and Structures in Public Media Management

In 1959, the British novelist and scientist C. P. Snow held a lecture in Cambridge titled “The Two Cultures”. It was later published and caused a heated international debate that has not yet abated 50 years on (Snow, 1963). Snow argued that the natural sciences and the humanities had developed into two separate worlds unable to communicate with and understand each other. He considered the widening gap between the two cultures to be a threat to modern society.
