Press Freedom and Pluralism in Europe Concepts and Conditions By Andrea Czepek Melanie Hellwig Eva Nowak
How free are the media in Europe? Freedom of the press and an independent media system are often taken for granted and all of the EU-member states today have implemented guarantees of press freedom in their constitutions and judicial systems.In Press Freedom and Pluralism in Europe, researchers from twelve countries examine media systems regarding conditions for independence and pluralism. They discuss a European approach to press freedom and diversity and include case studies of a broad spectrum of media systems including Bulgaria, the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Finland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and the UK.The volume examines how other factors such as economic influences, historic, cultural and social conditions also have a substantial impact on media independence. With its topical subject matter and a need for new media policies facing a changing media world, Press Freedom and Pluralism in Europe is an essential resource for media studies and journalism scholars.
is a very thoughtfully written Press Freedom and Pluralism in Europe Concepts and Conditions and it is very interesting to read the relationships, and the accomplishments.
Thanks are due to Andrea Czepek Melanie Hellwig Eva Nowak, for pulling me away from my comfort zone for reading, and into another world of books that I eagerly look forward to exploring.
