[ecrea] New book on Russian media

> A new book on Russian media through the eyes of 
> Western and Russian researchers:
>
> Perspectives to the Media in Russia:
> ?Western? Interests and Russian Developments
>
> Edited by Elena Vartanova, Hannu Nieminen and Minna-Mari Salminen
>
> This book combines two different approaches to 
> the media in Russia. The first is a ?Western? 
> look based on an extensive review of current 
> academic research in Western Europe and the USA. 
> This renders us a picture of the research field 
> still much affected by the old ?Cold War? 
> stereotype. The other approach is based on the 
> research by Russian scholars, exposing us to a 
> media landscape in constant flux. Detailed 
> mappings of the Russian media structure, the 
> youth?s media use, or the development of local 
> media are complemented with an overview which 
> sets the media developments into a wider 
> framework of Russian political and social development.
> ?This book adds in important ways to our 
> knowledge of the developments of the media in 
> Russia. For the first time, it presents an 
> overview of the ?Western? scholarly approaches 
> to Russian media, indispensable for a critical 
> understanding of our intellectual motives. In 
> addition, the book includes new and exclusive 
> information of recent developments of different 
> media in Russia. Elena Vartanova?s elegant 
> concluding chapter is a must to all scholars in the field.?
