"An exemplary study of how media regulation works (and, by
implication, how it could work better) set within a wider discussion
of democratic theory and political values. It will be of interest not
only to students and scholars but to people around the world grappling
with the same problem: the need to regulate markets, and the
difficulty of doing this well." - James Curran, Goldsmiths, University
of London In Media Regulation, two leading scholars of the media
examine the challenges of regulation in the global mediated sphere.
This book explores the way that regulation affects the relations
between government, the media and communications market, civil
society, citizens and consumers. Drawing on theories of governance and
the public sphere, the book critically analyzes issues at the heart of
today′s media, from the saturation of advertising to burdens on
individuals to control their own media literacy. Peter Lunt and Sonia
Livingstone incisively lay bare shifts in governance and the new role
of the public sphere which implicate self-regulation, the public
interest, the role of civil society and the changing risks and
opportunities for citizens and consumers. It is essential reading to
understand the forces that are reshaping the media landscape.
