Media policies revisited : the challenge for media freedom and independence

Psychogiopoulou, Evangelia, editor of compilation

Overview

\"What are the characteristics that render the media free and independent, and do European media policies develop in ways that promote media freedom and independence? What are the main constraints or threats to the operation of free and independent media, and what are the policy processes, institutional structures, regulatory practices and tools that can help counteract these? In a period of profound changes brought to the media ecosystem, media consumption and use, Media Policies Revisited explores key features of media policies and regulation in fourteen countries, investigating their strengths and weaknesses in the protection of media freedom and the promotion of independent media behaviour. Standing at the crossroads of media studies and legal and media governance research, this volume of groundbreaking essays offers fresh thinking on the conditions under which media policies can support free and independent media, providing a valuable reference for students, scholars, policy-makers and regulators\"-- Provided by publisher.
