内容説明

Media Beyond Socialism treats the changing relationships among media, state, economy, and civil society in the current period of transition in East Europe from socialism to the establishment of Western-type democracies. Analyzing the relevance of mass communication and particularly of the media in the democratization process, the book addresses such issues as the problems of civil society, the principles of power and profit maximization in the communication sphere, the role the media have played in the velvet revolution, and concerns surrounding East Europes new information age. First offering a fundamental theoretical discussion, Splichal goes on to share empirical data documenting the changes in the East-Central European print and broadcast media in terms of ownership, political control, the role of the media, and journalism practices as well as paradoxes stemming from the economic and political restructuring of the former socialist societies. He closely examines the claim that the media have taken a radical departure from their previous activities in East-Central Europe and challenges the notion that authoritarian control of the media has been buried in the transition to democracy. Indeed, Splichal asserts that the media are in the process of mimicking the Western design and are often placed under the control of paternalism, commercialism, and nationalism. Civil Society, the Information Revolution, and Communication Rights and Freedoms. Media and Democratization in East-Central Europe. Economic Restructuring and Democratization: Privatization as the Magic Key? The Mobilization of the State and the Control of Media Organizations. Postsocialism and the Media: Between Paternalism and Pluralism.

内容説明

Deals with the changing relationships between the media, the state, the economy and society in the countries of Eastern Europe following the breakdown of socialist rule. This book analyzes the role of mass communications - especially the media - in the democratization process, looking in detail at key issues such as the principles of power and profit maximization in the sphere of communications, and the concerns surrounding East Europe's new "information age". The author concludes that, rather than taking advantage of the transition to democracy and becoming channels for the free flow of information, the media are instead being controlled by paternalism, commercialism and nationalism.
