Rezensionen

It's a good and topical idea. Media ownership is an ongoing issue of concern relating to economics (monopoly) but also to socio-cultural ideals (pluralism, diversity, freedom of expression)... I believe that the proposal would be strengthened if the author dealt a bit more with mergers and acquisitions in the new digital era involving social media firms. This would make the work even more topical and would certainly add value. - Professor Petros Iosifidis, London City University, UK

The topics covered in this book are clearly important, timely, intriguing, challenging, complex, and fundamental... but without detailed chapter outlines, it's just hard to assess what the actual content, presentation, and level will be... If much of the principles and issues are grounded in the UK situation, then it may be of interest to individual researchers and scholars, but will not be adopted as a book in courses in other countries. - Professor Ronald E. Rice, UC Santa Barbara, USA

The proposal outlines highly appropriate areas concerning media ownership. Issues of pluralism, policy regulation and digitalisation offer a comprehensive approach to the subject. The argumentation is clear and the outline of topics is relevant...The proposal mentions empirical analyses, the use of examples and international comparisons, without specifying what these might be. The proposal seems rather UK-centric in orientation. - Helle Sjøvaag,University of Bergen, Norway

After seeing how the book was being framed, and how it is positioned relative to other available books, I became convinced that the idea of the book is indeed a good one...I would argue that the other important angle that needs to be addressed (presumably in this section, but possibly elsewhere instead/as well) is the role that these intermediaries play in the dynamics of media consumption...I was very impressed with how thorough the book's plan is, in terms of topics needing to be covered. - Professor Philip M. Napoli, Fordham University, USA
