Short summary:
Media independence is vital for media democracies. And so is the 
independence of the regulatory bodies. While the underlying concept of 
free media is often referred to the independence of media as such, it is 
equally important to focus on the impartiality of the regulators. This 
volume explores the complex relationship between media governance and 
independence of media regulatory authorities within media systems in the 
European context, as this is part of the wider framework in which 
media’s independence may flourish or fade.
