The media is often viewed as a primary gauge which reflects the
changing political landscape as societies transition from
authoritarian regimes to democracies. Chronicling the process
through media analysis provides deeper insights into the
relationship between technology, the state, and social forces that
are reflected in the public's communications. This volume explores
the challenges and political conditions that have shaped the media
in several representative studies of the media in the Middle East,
Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. The contributors analyse the
legacy of the past on the development of the media in
post-authoritarian regimes and explore the relationships between
media, communication industries (public relations), and politics.
The use of new communications technologies to manipulate the media
and the public introduce a novel use of social media by populists
as well as authoritarian regimes and their proxies. This book
presents a comparative and global investigation of the role of the
media in the realignment from established policies to an emerging
milieu of new channels of communication that challenge traditional
media practices.
