This manual provides an in-depth analysis of contemporary media policy, focusing on the consequences of global convergence within Europe. It examines the intricate interplay between technological advancements, cultural and political identities, and the evolving landscape of the cultural industries in the "New Economy." The publication delves into the impact of European integration on national institutions, particularly public service broadcasting, and explores how international media trends challenge the legitimacy of national communities and ideologies.
The scope of this manual encompasses a comprehensive review of media and communication studies as a social science, employing an empirical approach to analyze key issues. It addresses the future of public service broadcasting, the influence of national regulators on transnational media relationships, and the broader societal implications of these shifts. This resource is designed for academics, policymakers, and researchers interested in understanding the complex dynamics shaping media and society in Europe.
An integrated analysis of the central issues in contemporary media policy. Chapters focus on technological change and its impact on cultural and political identities, the role of the cultural industries in the 'New Economy' and the impact of European integration on national institutions - public service broadcasting in particular. Because technological change in broadcasting has enabled us to open up media markets, the shape of media and of society has become more internationally-oriented. Indeed, modern international media has bought into question the very legitimacy of national communities and ideologies. And this is a phenomenon whose greatest impact has been in Europe. These studies address the future of public service broadcasting and the power of national regulators to shape trans-national media relationships. The author takes an empirical approach to analysis of these issues, exploring media and communication studies very much as a social science.
