Colin Sparks provides a challenging reassessment of the impact of
the collapse of communism on the media systems of Eastern Europe.
He analyzes both the changes themselves and their implications for
the ways in which we think about the mass media, while also
demonstrating that most of the orthodox accounts of the end of
communism are seriously flawed. There are much greater continuities
between the old system and the new than are captured by the
theories that argue that there has been a radical and fundamental
change. Instead of marking the end of critical inquiry or the end
of history, as some have suggested, Sparks argues that the collapse
of the communist systems demonstrates how very limited and
frequently incorrect the main ways of discussing the mass media
are. He concludes with a provocative discussion of the ways in
which we need to modify our thinking in the light of these
developments.
