[ecrea] New book: Democracy and Media in Central and Eastern Europe 25 Years On

We have a great pleasure in drawing your attention to publication of new
book dedicated to interplay between democracy and media in Central and
Eastern Europe (CEE). This book is a collective effort of scholars who
elaborate on models of democracy, the role of civil society as well as
media-political relations. Papers included in the collection were
presented during the 7th International Central and Eastern European
Communication and Media Conference (CEECOM) which took place in Wroclaw
in June 2014. The book is the 4th publication of Peter Lang's Studies in
Communication and Politics - series of collective works and monographs
on the role of media in contemporary politics and changing approaches to
communications

«A well-documented book on the mass media in a little explored area:
Central Eastern Europe. Four models of media and politics are presented
opening the floor for a wider scholarly debate.» (/Paolo Mancini,
Università di Perugia, Italy/)

«This volume meets the continuing need to make sense of the changing
worlds of journalism, journalists, and media. Each of the ten
contributions is a well conceptualized, researched and thought out
assessment of the pertinent issues and a springboard for further
evaluations and model building. A great addition to the classroom and
scholarship.» (/Peter Gross, The University of Tennessee, USA/)
