Comparative Media Systems: European and Global Perspectives

Compares models of media and politics in Central and Eastern Europe.

Leading researchers from different regions of Europe and the United States address five major interrelated themes: 1) how ideological and normative constructs gave way to empirical systematic comparative work in media research 2) the role of foreign media groups in post-communist regions and the effects of ownership in terms of impacts on media freedom 3) the various dimensions of the relationship between mass media and political systems in a comparative perspective 4) professionalization of journalism in different political cultures--autonomy of journalists, professional norms and practices, political instrumentalization and the commercialization of the media 5) the role of state intervention in media systems
