Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this book explores the complex construction of democratic
public dialogue in developing countries. Case studies examine
national environments defined not only by state censorship and
commercial pressure, but also language differences, international
influence, social divisions, and distinct value systems. With fresh
portraits of new and traditional media throughout Africa, Latin
America and Asia, authors delve into the essential role of the
media in developing countries. Case studies illuminate the
relationship between the State and the media in Russia, as well as
the challenges faced by journalists working in Kurdistan. Further
cases reveal bureaucratic censorship of books in Brazil, regulatory
dilemmas in Australia, state policies in post-colonial Malawi, and
the potential of oral culture for the strengthening of democratic
conversation. Media, Development and Democracy brings the liberal
democratic media model into new terrains where some of its core
assumptions do not hold. In doing so, the authors' collective
voices illuminate pressing issues facing our current global
dialogue and our liberal and democratic expectations concerning
communications and the media. This essential volume works as a
magnifying glass for our current times, forcing us to question what
kind of media we want today
