Journalism And Democracy In Asia

This book addresses key issues of freedom, democracy, citizenship, openness and journalism in contemporary Asia, looking especially at China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and India. It considers journalism in print, radio and new media, and considers such questions as the role of social, political and economic liberalisation in bringing about a blooming of the media, the relationship between the media and the development of democracy and civil society, and how journalism copes under authoritarian rule.
