"This is an impressively cogent account of the complex, shifting
media landscape in France, agreeably written by an acknowledged
expert in the field ... finding a workable balance between research
expertise and usefulness for teaching is never easy, but this
volume comes as close as possible to getting it right." Journal of
European Studies 2012 42: 94"Thanks to his intimate knowledge of
French politics and culture, Kuhn has brilliantly captured what
makes the uniqueness of the French media system." Thierry Vedel,
Senior Research Fellow at Sciences Po in Paris"This book achieves
the remarkable and all too rare combination of offering an
extremely clear, accessible and well organised introduction for
students of the French Media and providing a host of new
perspectives to those well versed in the field." Dr David Levy,
Director, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Department
of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, UK"A
necessary tool to understand a very particular mass media system
such as the French one. After a detailed historical reconstruction
Raymond Kuhn offers an interesting interpretation of the present
mass media problems under the Sarkozy Presidency." Paolo Mancini,
Universita di Perugia, ItalyThe Media in Contemporary France
analyses the role of the main news media - press, radio, television
and the internet - in one of the world's major democracies. Written
by a leading specialist in the field, it covers media policy, news
management and image projection during the mediatized
'hyperpresidency' of Nicolas Sarkozy.Raymond Kuhn outlines the
historical development of the media in France before providing a
critical evaluation of today's digital media landscape, that has
seen both the entry of new online actors (such as Google, Facebook
and Twitter) and the destabilization of many traditional outlets in
both press and broadcasting sectors (for instance, Le Monde and
France Televisions).Key aspects of the structures and functioning
of the contemporary media - including ownership, political
partisanship, content regulation and policy-making - are covered in
depth. The author also looks at the contribution of the French
media on the world stage, with the launch of the international
rolling news channel, France 24, serving as a case study of
France's global media activities.This book will appeal to students
in the fields of media and communication studies, political
communication, journalism, French politics and society and European
Studies.
