The book concentrates on MAS as one of the three pillars of goods new media, together with free enterprise and state regulation. It presents general information about the major media accountability systems and their useful(press council, ombudsman, journalism review, etc.) and a chapter on each of them is written by an expert who has been involved with that particular system.
