In this wide-ranging and illuminating text a network of media social scientists from 17 Western European countries analyze both the nature and direction of these sweeping changes. This collaborative effort explores the increasing importance of transnational multimedia corporations and details the various challenges that commercialization and privatization are posing to the traditions of public service broadcasting. The contributors pay particular attention to the widespread development of local radio and television stations and discuss their regulatory framework. Geared towards media and communication professionals as well as academics, students and researchers, Dynamics of Media Politics offers the reader a base for understanding the volatile processes of European mass media.
