The Independence of the Media and its Regulatory Agencies cover

Media independence is vital for democracies, and so is the independence of the regulatory bodies governing it. The Independence of the Media and its Regulatory Agencies explores the complex relationship between media governance and independence of media regulatory authorities within Europe, which form part of the wider framework in which media’s independence may flourish or fade. Based on research in more than forty countries, the contributions analyse the independence of regulators and draw links between social, financial and legal frameworks.

'Provides a solid survey of European practices and organisations, and how they are changing amidst the media technological revolution'
