Description

What is meant by an 'independent' television and press, and what affirmative role should any government have in the regulation of television?

How do competing interest groups use media regulation to their advantage?

What impact does television have on democratic values and the process of democracy itself?

Television, the Public Sphere, and the National Identity focuses on these and other questions in a broad reinterpretation of television's role and influence on democratic societies in a time of increased globalization of the media. Monroe E. Price's lively and wide-ranging study is unique in developing a theory which covers media developments in both the United States and Europe, including the states of the post-Soviet transition (Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union).

Examining the relationship between television and these societies, Price asks how the globalization of television affects the medium's impact on these nations and, indeed, on the survival of the nation state itself.

The book also looks at the justifications and abuses that have arisen in television's regulation, and predicts the future role of TV in society.
