Media Freedom and Pluralism
Media Policy Challenges in the Enlarged Europe
Edited by:
Beata Klimkiewicz, Jagellonian University,
Cracow
Addresses a critical analysis of major media policies
in the European Union and Council of Europe at the period
of profound changes affecting both media environments
and use, as well as the logic of media policy-making
and reconfiguration of traditional regulatory models.
The analytical problem-related approach seems to better
reflect a media policy process as an interrelated part
of European integration, formation of European citizenship,
and exercise of communication rights within the European
communicative space. The question of normative expectations
is to be compared in this case with media policy rationales,
mechanisms of implementation (transposing rules from
EU to national levels), and outcomes.
Competent and experienced scholars of the subject
describe and analyze the different patterns followed
in the various countries, when attempting to adapt to
the new conditions – technological, political
and sociological (the media using habits of citizens).
