This edited collection draws on and expands the findings from a
pan-European research project undertaken during 2012-13 which was
funded by the European Institute for Gender Equality and aimed to
explore three key issues in relation to gender and media: women's
inclusion in decision-making positions within media industries; how
women are represented in the media; and what policies and
mechanisms are in place to support women's career development and
promote gender equality. The research looked at 99 major media
organisations across the EU including public and private sector
broadcasters (TV and radio) as well as a number of major newspaper
groups. Researchers also monitored TV programmes (factual only but
including entertainment genres) across one week and coded 1200
hours of TV. In addition to elaborating the results from 16 of the
participating nations, the collection includes a set of
context-setting essays and a summarizing conclusion as well as a
reflection on the purpose and utility of gender indicators. It is
the first major work to look across the European media landscape
and explore both employment and representation, providing a unique
glimpse into the contemporary media scene in relation to gender
equality, including examples of good and less good practice.

This edited volume addresses current challenges, trends and
transformations in global communication governance. Exploring
changes in the actors, issues, values and contexts of media and
communications, it investigates the crossroads that media policy is
facing and offers visions for the future. A diverse range of
scholars and expert practitioners discuss what regulatory reforms
and governing mechanisms are required to advance democratic
participation and fundamental rights in platform societies.
Organized around five sections, the volume considers the
geopolitics of emerging communication orders; the changing roles of
actors and stakeholders; the challenge of embedding rights and
values in regulatory arrangements; the intersection of technology
and policy; and the need to rethink epistemologies and
methodologies for researching this field. Contributions from
different disciplines and cultural backgrounds include provocative
think pieces and longer analyses. All chapters are grounded in
historically-aware understandings of contemporary transformations,
while anticipating dynamics of our communication
futures. Â
