Produktbeschreibung
Markets and Myths: forces for change in the media of Western Europe is an introductory text written by an international group of specialists, which offers a challenging yet highly accessible analysis of media development in five major European countries from 1945 to the end of the twentieth century. All principal forms of the mass media are covered and the impact of media policy on the political, social, and cultural life of the key European countries concerned - Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - as well as on the wider European community, is examined in detail. The authors look at current issues relating to press freedom, the role of the state with regard to public service broadcasting, and the relationship between the media and their public. They focus on topical issues such as the increasing effects of market forces, concentration of ownership and the power of the great media corporations. The book also identifies areas of difference and commonality within the European media and the future role of the media in representing the image of a more unified community to the citizens of the European Union. Written in clear and accessible style, Markets and Myths includes a wealth of up-to-date information, a comprehensive glossary, and an international bibliography. This book makes essential reading for students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including Media and Communication Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Politics and History, who are approaching the study of the media for the first time. Anthony Weymouth is Principal Lecturer in the Department of Politics and European Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, England; Bernard Lamizet is professor and head of the Department of Communication Science at the University of Avignon, France.
