[ecrea] New Book Announcement: "Media, Power and Empowerment"

Media, Power and Empowerment: Central and Eastern European Communication 
and Media Conference CEECOM Prague 2012
Edited by Tereza Pavlíčková, Irena Reifová
Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishers, 2014
ISBN: 978-1-4438-6396-4


This collection brings together 71 papers by 83 authors from 20 
countries presented at the 5th Central and Eastern European 
Communication and Media Conference, titled “Media, Power and 
Empowerment”, in Prague, Czech Republic, in April 2012. It maps out 
trends in CEE media research across the entire region and provides 
insight into the broad span of relevant topics. The contributors to the 
volume successfully voice the multiple, yet specific, questions relevant 
to the CEE countries; the papers offer original research results to the 
reader, and invite them to participate in further debate on CEE media 
and communications research. To date, there have not been many 
publications dedicated to outlining the media and communications 
research interests across the region. This collection shows that the 
countries of the region indeed have a lot in common – historically, 
politically, and socially – while also discussing the differences among 
them, including the multiple political particularities within the 
unifying label “the East”, and variations in the transformation process 
and the consequences for concerned societies and their media scenes, as 
well as the individual lived experiences of the people of the CEE countries.
