of television liberalization policies in Europe 
to critically evaluate the contributions of 
private television to cultural diversity, 
democracy and economic development, assess its 
strengths and weaknesses and build a forum for 
constructive debate among academics, policy 
makers and practitioners about past, present and 
future perspectives on private television.
