Finding the Right Place on the Map is a 
crosscutting, international comparison of the 
media systems and the democratic performance of 
the media in post-Communist countries. It 
explores issues of commercial media, social 
exclusion, and consumer capitalism in a comparative East-West perspective.
Each chapter considers a different aspect of the 
trends and problems surrounding the media in 
comparative European and global perspectives. The 
result is a creative collaboration of leading 
authors from East and West that covers a rich 
array of controversial subjects in a 
comprehensive manner. Topics range from the civil 
society approach to media and public service 
broadcasting to journalism cultures, fandom, 
representation of poverty and gender that 
reinforces social exclusion and legitimizes consumer capitalism.
Finding the Right Place on the Map is a unique, 
up-to-date overview of what media transformation 
has meant for post-communist countries in nearly two decades.
