Media in Europe Today

This book provides a comprehensive overview of European media today in a period of transformation. It maps the full scope of contemporary media policy and industry activities while also assessing the impact of new technologies and radical changes in distribution and consumption on media practices, organisations and strategies. Bringing together contributions from media scholars in the Euromedia Research Group, this book represents the continuation and further development of a long tradition of media policy books written by the group. Benefiting from more than twenty years of experience in the observation and critical analysis of trends within European Media, this volume is split into two sections covering a range of issues including structural changes within specific European media sectors and the challenges facing European media.
