broadcasting in a variety of Western democracies from a political
viewpoint, written at a time when new telecommunications and

book describes and analyses the problems faced by politicians and
broadcasters in responding to these changing technological and
political environments.
Public service media (PSM) have been the mainstay of Western
European broadcasting for a number of decades. Yet despite a
general political consensus in favour of PSM, recent technological,
economic and political changes have led to a questioning of their
value. This new collection of essays explores the history of PSM in
selected European countries, from their early establishment as the
main media in many countries to charting their transformation and
evolution in recent years. The contributions consider the
political, economic and market-integration issues that impact PSM,
while also highlighting the importance of the ideology that
originally accompanied PSM in its initial years, to see how
relevant they are in the contemporary world. The book consists of
two complementary parts: Part I: Theoretical Aspects and Global
Influences on Public Service Media in Europe Part II: A Comparative
Analysis of Public Service Media across Europe With contributions
from leading experts, the first part offers a thorough examination
of the current concepts and conditions that influence PSM in
Europe. The second offers a comparative study of PSM in several
European countries including France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain
and Sweden. Offering the most comprehensive study of the field to
date, Public Service Media in Europe will be useful for students
and researchers in public media, political communication,
international and comparative media.

the making and maps the opportunities and threats encountered by

"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.
This important new text provides an up-to-date account of the
complex interrelationship between politics and the media in
Britain. It starts by setting key policy areas in the context of
technological convergence, globalization and initiatives at
European level. It then addresses the key issues the role of the
media in politics and elections.
The 21st century has already seen dramatic changes affecting both
journalism and politics. The rise of a range of new digital and
networked communication technologies combined with the stagnation
and decline of many traditional mass media has had a profound
impact on political journalism. The arrival of new digital media
has affected the ways in which political actors communicate with
the public, with or without journalists as intermediaries.
Newspapers that once held political leaders to account are now
struggling to survive; broadcasters that once gathered whole
nations for the evening news are now fighting for relevance faced
with innumerable new competitors on cable and digital television;
online-only media, such as blogs and social networking sites, are
changing how we communicate about politics. News media remain
central to political processes, but the ways in which journalists
and politicians interact are changing. This book examines how and
provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the state of
political journalism in Western Europe today, including the many
challenges facing journalists in this important period of
transition.
