内容简介 在线阅读本书
The Politics of Media Policy provides a critical perspective on the dynamics of media policy in the US and UK and offers a comprehensive guide to some of the major points of debate in the media today. While many policymakers boast of the openness and pluralism of their media systems, this book exposes the commitment to market principles that saturates the media policy environment and distorts the development and application of democratic media policies.
Based on interviews with dozens of politicians, regulators, special advisers, lobbyists and campaigners, The Politics of Media Policy considers how governments, civil servants and media corporations have shaped the drawing up of rules concerning a range of issues including:
∗ Media ownership
∗ Media content
∗ Public broadcasting
∗ Digital television
∗ Copyright
∗ Trade agreements affecting the media industries.
The book identifies both the institutions and the arguments that dominate the development of these crucial media policies. It will be of interest to public policy and media professionals, researchers, activists and students indeed all those determined to understand and respond to the impact of neo–liberalism on the contemporary world.
作者简介 Des Freedman is Senior Lecturer in Communications and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College.
编辑推荐 Review "Des Freedman has written a wonderful, original and indispensable introduction to the exploding world of media policy making. It deserves the attention of students, scholars and citizens everywhere." Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"Well-written, comprehensive and passionate, this will be a key book on media policy." David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds"For many years, the study of media policy has lacked the thick description of personal observation. Previous work has either been caught in the detail of the law, or been distanced by the abstraction of academic theory. Now we have a book that brings all these important discourses together, thanks to Des Freedman's fresh, interdisciplinary approach." Toby Miller, University of California, Riverside
“Very highly recommended. This agenda-setting introduction to media policymaking deserves to become a core text.”
