ISBN 978-3-631-65421-7 hb. (Hardcover)



This collective effort of Central and Eastern European (CEE) scholars 
investigates and compares journalism cultures in a selection of CEE 
countries. Simultaneously with dramatic societal and political changes, 
CEE journalisms undergo a technological revolution and the global 
repercussions of the economic crisis. According to the authors of this 
volume, the national cultural factors and traditions play an important 
role in professionalization and democratization of journalism cultures. 
The book critically examines some of the identified developments, such 
as shifting roles and functions of the media and journalists or 
interpretations of occupational self-regulation as genuine phenomena of 
CEE journalisms rather than deviations from the Western professional 
ideology of journalism.
