[ecrea] IJoC Publishes Special Section on Mediadem

The International Journal of Communication Publishes a Special Section on
Mediadem
____________________________________________________________

The EU-funded Mediadem project, which ran for three years from April 2010,
explored the factors that promote or hinder the realization of media freedom
and independence in 14 European countries.  The countries included in the
study  included long-standing EU Member State, such as Germany, Finland and
the UK; more recent members, such as Slovakia, Estonia and Croatia; and
applicant states such as Turkey.
Edited by Rachael Craufurd Smith, this Special Section on Supporting Free
and Independent Media in Europe: Findings from the Mediadem Project,  by
academics and experts working in the field, draws on the Mediadem research
and focuses on three key themes that were central to the project:  1) The
future of public service media provision in Europe and the extent to which
international standards can, and  have been, used to direct its development;
 2) How journalistic ethics can be nurtured and maintained in today’s
highly competitive, and often financially stretched, media markets and 3)
the constitutional limits of state regulation and the role of
self-regulation in a media environment dominated by powerful private
corporations.
The articles thus explore the influence of international and European
standards on economically, politically and culturally diverse countries and
whether there remains a role for professionalization in supporting
independent reporting, given the rise of “citizen journalism” and the
increasingly casual and precarious nature of journalists’ employment.
We invite you to read these articles that published in the International
Journal of Communication on May 8, 2017.  Please log on to ijoc.org read
