European Broadcasting Law and Policy Hardback
by Jackie (University of Sheffield) Harrison, Lorna (University of Essex) Woods
Part of the Cambridge Studies in European Law and Policy series
Hardback
Description
European broadcasting policy has attracted attention from many disciplines because it has dual nature: cultural and commercial.
This book offers a detailed treatment of European broadcasting law, set against an overview of policy in this area.
In this respect the authors identify tensions within the EU polity as regards the appropriate level, purpose and mechanism of broadcast regulation.
Key influences are problems of competence, the impact of changing technology and the consequences of increasing commercialisation.
Furthermore, the focus of the analysis is on the practical implications of the legal framework on viewers, and the authors distinguish both between citizen and consumer and between the passive and active viewer.
The underlying question is the extent to which those most in need of protection by regulation, given the purpose of broadcasting, are adequately protected.
