When the financial markets collapsed in 2008, the media industry
was affected by a major slump in advertising revenues, and a
formerly highly successful business model fell into a state of
decay. This economic crisis has threatened core social values of
contemporary democracies, such as freedom, diversity and equality.
Taking a normative and policy perspective, this book discusses
threats and opportunities for the media industry in Europe: What
are the implications of the crisis for professional journalism, the
media industry, and the process of political communication? Can
non- state and non-market actors profit from the crisis? And what
are media policy answers at the national and European level?
Conventional wisdom views globalization as a process that heralds
the diminishing role or even 'death' of the state and the rise of
transnational media and transnational consumption. Global Media and
National Policies questions those assumptions and shows not only
that the nation-state never left but that it is still a force to be
reckoned with. With contributions that look at global developments
and developments in specific parts of the world, it demonstrates
how nation-states have adapted to globalization and how they still
retain key policy instruments to achieve many of their policy
objectives. This book argues that the phenomenon of media
globalization has been overstated, and that national governments
remain key players in shaping the media environment, with media
corporations responding to the legal and policy frameworks they
deal with at a national level.

This book addresses gaps in our understanding of processes that
underpin the making and circulation of children's screen contents
across the Arab region and Europe. Taking account of recent
disruptive shifts in geopolitics that call for new thinking about
how children's media policy and production should proceed after
large-scale forced migration in both regions, the book asks to what
extent children in Europe and the Arab World are engaging with the
same content. Who is funding new content and who is making it,
according to whose criteria? Whose voices are loudest when it comes
to pressures for regulation of children's screen content, and what
exactly do they want? The answers to these questions matter for
anyone seeking insights into diverse cross-cultural collaborations
and content innovations that are shaping new investment and
production relationships.
Who analyses children's screen content and media use in Arab
countries, and with what results? Children, defined internationally
as under-18s, account for some 40 per cent of Arab populations and
the proportion of under-fives is correspondingly large. Yet studies
of children's media and child audiences in the region are as scarce
as truly popular locally produced media content aimed at children.
At the very time when conflict and uncertainty in key Arab
countries have made local development and diversification of
children's media more remote, it has become more urgent to gain a
better understanding of how the next generation's identities and
worldviews are formed. This interdisciplinary book is the first in
English to probe both the state of Arab screen media for children
and the practices of Arabic-speaking children in producing, as well
as consuming, screen content. It responds to the gap in research by
bringing together a holistic investigation of institutions and
leading players, children's media experiences and some iconic media
texts.With children's media increasingly linked to merchandising,
which favours US-based global players and globalizing forces, this
volume provides a timely insight into tensions between differing
concepts of childhood and desirable media messages.
