>The two volumes of European Media Governance 
>concentrate on the shifting of media rules and 
>regulations from national government policies to 
>local, regional, national, multinational and 
>international ones and away from exclusively 
>political domains to others, such as market, 
>professional and public interest/pressure groups.
>
>The volume on National and Regional dimensions 
>provides a detailed examination of all aspects 
>of media governance, including media ownership 
>structures, government policies, citizens 
>organisations and unions accountability 
>systems, for 32 European countries. It includes 
>recent technological developments and provides 
>sources for more information in each country. 
>These 32 national dimensions are combined with 
>four regional dimensions based on Dan Hallin & 
>Paolo Mancinis models. The book includes 
>introductions by Denis McQuail, Dan Hallin & 
>Paolo Mancini, Lennart Weibull, Stylianos 
>Papathanassopoulos and Karol Jakubowicz.
>
>The volume on the Brussels dimension provides a 
>detailed analysis of the media works of the 
>European Commission and Parliament, as well as 
>the Brussels-based media-related civil society 
>organisations. It examines their influence on 
>Media Governance that has escaped the national 
>shackles of the member states, and it tries to 
>answer questions such as which are those 
>organizations and who do they represent? Which 
>are the relevant EU regulations for the 
>different media industries that they try to 
>influence? How do they participate in the media 
>related debates in the different EU 
>institutions? What are their major position 
>papers? What is the current state of affairs in 
>the European Media Governance relevant to their 
>industry and what are the future issues that 
>they are trying to tackle at a European level? 
>Finally, how are their lobbying efforts 
>coordinated with other political, professional 
>and public interest groups? This book presents 
>the work of 10 of these European organizations 
>from a variety of media sectors, as well as the 
>relevant work of the European Commission, the 
>European Parliament, and the European Consumers Association.
>
>
>This is an indispensable guidebook not only for 
>navigating through the surprisingly diverse 
>European media landscape but also as a 
>stimulating resource for reflecting upon the 
>theories of media and society.- Kaarle 
>Nordenstreng, Professor, Department of
