Media, Democracy and Freedom cover

This book does what few other works have done: it examines the role media have played in the larger political, economic and social transformations in the post communist space. An international group of scholars from various disciplines explore the complex relations between media, society, and the state in this region over the past twenty years, and present theoretical arguments that challenge dominant views. They scrutinize changes in the public sphere as well as the media itself, its role, format, agenda and quality in the context of changing values and shifting power relationships.

«Rich both conceptually and empirically, this volume is an authoritative stocktaking of relations between media, political and business elites since the collapse of communism in Russia and a half dozen other countries.» (John Higley, Professor of Government and Sociology, University of Austin at Texas, USA, Chair, IPSA Research Committee on Political Elites)
