Book Announcement:

European Media Policy for the Twenty First Century - Assessing the Past, Setting Agendas for the Future.
New York and London: Routledge. 252pp (2016).
Seamus Simpson, Manuel Puppis and Hilde Van den Bulck (Eds)


About the Book
Media policy issues sit at the heart of the structure and functioning of media systems

in Europe and beyond. This book brings together the work of a range of leading media

policy scholars to provide inroads to a better understanding of how effective media policies

can be developed to ensure a healthy communication sector that contributes to the

well-being of individual citizens, as well as to a more democratic society. Faced with a

general atmosphere of disillusionment with the European project, one of the core questions

tackled by the volume’s contributors is: what scope is there for European media

policy that can exist beyond the national level? Uniquely, the volume’s chapters are

structured around four key policy themes: media convergence; the continued role and

position of public regulatory intervention in media policy; policy issues arising from the

development of new electronic communication network environments; and lessons for

European media policy from cases beyond the EU. In its chapters, the volume provides

enriched understandings of the role and significance of policy actors, institutions, structures,

instruments and processes in communication and media policy.
