This volume addresses the major questions surrounding a concept
that has become ubiquitous in the media and in civil society as
well as in political and economic discourses in recent years, and
which is demanded with increasing frequency: transparency. How can
society deal with increasing and often diverging demands and
expectations of transparency? What role can different political and
civil society actors play in processes of producing, or preventing,
transparency? Where are the limits of transparency and how are
these boundaries negotiated? What is the relationship of
transparency to processes of social change, as well as systems of
social surveillance and control? Engaging with transparency as an
interrelated product of law, politics, economics and culture, this
interdisciplinary volume explores the ambiguities and
contradictions, as well as the social and political dilemmas, that
the age of transparency has unleashed. As such it will appeal to
researchers across the social sciences and humanities with
interests in politics, history, sociology, civil society,
citizenship, public policy, criminology and law.
The Global Handbook of Media Accountability brings together leading
scholars to de-Westernize the academic debate on media
accountability and discuss different models of media
self-regulation and newsroom transparency around the globe. With
examination of the status quo of media accountability in 43
countries worldwide, it offers a theoretically informed comparative
analysis of accountability regimes of different varieties. As such,
it constitutes the first interdisciplinary academic framework
comparing structures of media accountability across all continents
and creates an invaluable basis for further research and
policymaking. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of
media studies and journalism, mass communication, sociology, and
political science, as well as policymakers and practitioners.

In recent years, the Leveson Inquiry in Great Britain, as well as
the EU High-Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism, have
stirred heated debates about media accountability and media
self-regulation across Europe. How responsible are journalists? How
well-developed are infrastructures of media self-regulation in the
different European countries? How much commitment to media
accountability is there in the media industry - and how actively do
media users become involved in the process of media criticism via
social media? With contributions from leading scholars in the field
of journalism and mass communication, this handbook brings together
reports on the status quo of media accountability in all EU members
states as well as key countries close to Europe, such as Turkey and
Israel. Each chapter provides an up-to-date overview of media
accountability structures as well as a synopsis of relevant
research, exploring the role of media accountability instruments in
each national setting, including both media self-regulation (such
as codes of ethics, press councils, ombudspersons) and new
instruments that involve audiences and stakeholder groups (such as
media blogs and user comment systems). A theoretically informed,
cross-national comparative analysis of the state of media
accountability in contemporary Europe, this handbook constitutes an
invaluable basis for further research and policy-making and will
appeal to students and scholars of media studies and journalism, as
well as policy-makers and practitioners.

Bringing together both leading international scholars and emerging
academic talent, Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth
Politics maps the current state of media accountability in Europe
and provides fresh perspectives for future developments in media
and communication fields. As the integrity of the international
media landscape is challenged by far-reaching transformations and
the rise of "fake news," the need for a functional system of media
regulation is greater than ever. This book addresses the pressing
need to re-evaluate and redefine the notion of accountability in
the fast-changing field of journalism and "information provision."
Using comparative research and empirical data, the book's case
studies address the notion of media accountability from various
perspectives, considering political and societal change, economic,
organisational and technological factors, and the changing role of
media audiences. By collecting and juxtaposing these studies, the
book provides a new discussion for the old question of how we can
safeguard free and responsible media in Europe - a question that
seems more urgent than ever. Media Accountability in the Era of
Post-Truth Politics is an essential read for students and
researchers in journalism, media and communication studies.
