Media and Media Policy in Germany by Peter Humphreys Pdf
This volume is concerned with the legal structure, the economic concentration and the political dynamics of the West German media in a period of rapid technological change. Adopting a "policy-studies" perspective, the author analyzes the shaping of "communication policies."
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this analysis of media law in Germany surveys the massively altered and enlarged legal landscape traditionally encompassed in laws pertaining to freedom of expression and regulation of communications. Everywhere, a shift from mass media to mass self-communication has put enormous pressure on traditional law models. An introduction describing the main actors and salient aspects of media markets is followed by in-depth analyses of print media, radio and television broadcasting, the Internet, commercial communications, political advertising, concentration in media markets, and media regulation. Among the topics that arise for discussion are privacy, cultural policy, protection of minors, competition policy, access to digital gateways, protection of journalists’ sources, standardization and interoperability, and liability of intermediaries. Relevant case law is considered throughout, as are various ethical codes. A clear, comprehensive overview of media legislation, case law, and doctrine, presented from the practitioner’s point of view, this book is a valuable time-saving resource for all concerned with media and communication freedom. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Germany will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative media law.

Power, Performance and Politics by Werner A. Meier,Josef Trappel Pdf
For 25 years, members of the Euromedia Research Group have analyzed the connection between mass media, the public, and politics. On the basis of established and new theoretical approaches, this collection of papers by members of the Group examines the changes in the European media. It also looks at the European trends of central media-political concepts, such as media diversity, journalistic responsibility, and media governance.
Media Freedom and Pluralism by Beata Klimkiewicz Pdf
Addresses a critical analysis of major media policies in the European Union and Council of Europe at the period of profound changes affecting both media environments and use, as well as the logic of media policy-making and reconfiguration of traditional regulatory models. The analytical problem-related approach seems to better reflect a media policy process as an interrelated part of European integration, formation of European citizenship, and exercise of communication rights within the European communicative space. The question of normative expectations is to be compared in this case with media policy rationales, mechanisms of implementation (transposing rules from EU to national levels), and outcomes.
Pluralism and the Mass Media by Peter Humphreys Pdf
West Germany's mass-media system is subjected to a detailed historical analysis starting with the legacy of authoritarianism and democratic failure and concluding with the new media structures of the 1980s (though not including Reunification). The work's approach is that of political science, and in particular policy analysis, emphasising throughout concepts like interest, influence, power and accountability. More specifically, the work addresses, by empirical inquiry, the debate between pluralists, neo-pluralists and marxists about how pluralistic or otherwise media policy making has been. It focuses on the most important controversies: notably, questions of press- concentration, media freedom, media ownership, public accountability and control, commercialism, cross-media monopoly formation and the introduction of the ǹew media' (cable and satellite broadcasting). On the basis of the evidence, the work comes down in favour of a neo-pluralist approach. It is acknowledged that the pluralist ideal has been abridged. The sub- sectors of the press and, more recently, commercial broadcasting bear significant features of dominance by the giant press concerns. Similarly the public-service broadcasting corporations have fallen prey to a considerable politicisation. At the same time, there is strong evidence that important countervailing power has been exerted against the dominance of any unified elite or privileged group. Pluralistic influences flow from the complex group politics of the mass media in a federal system and from the important role of political institutions, and institutionalised procedures and norms, in particular the policy- shaping role of the courts, in the determination of media policy outcomes in the Federal Republic.

Media and Cultural Policy in the European Union by Anonim Pdf
The areas of media and cultural policy offer a unique prism through which to understand wider processes of European integration. Questions of European identity, citizenship and community or polity-building clearly resolve themselves as questions of the (non-)emergence of a European ‘communicative space’. At the same time, as a more specific area of policy study, the role which has or may be played by the European institutions themselves in the fostering of such a ‘communicative space’ raises questions as to both the effectiveness and the legitimacy of their interventions. This volume in the European Studies series brings fresh, interdisciplinary insight into this relatively understudied area, making the case for a renewed look at the trajectory of cultural and media policies in the EU. Distinctively, the collection offers a historical and socio-political analysis of major media policies in the European Union, allowing for the contextualisation of recent developments; turns its attention to areas largely neglected by scholarly publishing, such as the press, the culture of the newsroom, and the role of media in an enlarged Europe; and addresses media and cultural policies as an interrelated part of EU construction, through questions of identity and political representation. Media and Cultural Policy in the European Union will be of interest to scholars and students of Cultural and Media Studies, European Studies, and European Integration, as well as appealing to broader Social Science audiences concerned with the politics and policy of cultural diversity.

The European media landscape is changing profoundly. In this wide-ranging and timely text, members of the Euromedia Research Group examine the ways in which national and supranational policy is reacting to these changes. The contributors consider: the consequences for broadcasting systems of satellite and cable delivery; the fate of public broadcasting under deregulation; the changes currently affecting print media and newspapers; the impact of media changes for political and social cultural life; and the significance of the Internet, the first true fruit of the telematic revolution in communication. The main themes of media policy analysis today are convergence, concentration and commercialization, and abundance through digitalization. Although media policy has changed drastically in its concerns and forms, the authors here argue that the need for an effective public communication policy in our `information society′ is as pressing now as it ever was.
Regulating Audiovisual Services by Thomas Gibbons Pdf
In recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging, enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control become problems of access and interconnection between services and how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the interactions between providers and users, the relationship between freedom of information and technologies to control it and the international reach of the new media.
