Global Media Policy in the New MillenniumMarc Raboy This exploration of media policymaking looks at its shift from a field essentially defined by national legislative and regulatory frameworks and a minimum of international supervision to a complex ecology of interdependent structures. A number of issues, themes, and case studies illustrate and enhance the understanding of this situation. The text amplifies the empirical basis for a critique of the emerging global media policy environment as well as serves as a resource for actors seeking to intervene effectively in the area of media policy. |
