*Description*

The international COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact many people’s 
daily lives, and this natural phenomenon does not leave the world of 
media untouched either. In Central and Eastern Europe, media regulatory 
processes are often covert; as if governments are using the viral 
situation to achieve their unstated goals. Freedom of expression as a 
fundamental human right can quickly face severe restrictions in such 
cases, raising the problem of conflicting fundamental rights. 
Legislation, the functioning of the media system, and other media rights 
issues, have for several years been on the agenda in many Central and 
Eastern European countries. The exercise of exceptional powers has 
reached the region; extraordinary seems to become the norm.

This edited volume aims to bring together the historical and 
contemporary challenges for the press, the news media, and our 
mediatised world. It explores the issue from the perspectives of legal 
history and existing law, as well as social and political science, 
identifying the intersections where past experience can help to address 
the social and regulatory challenges of the present.

The main objective of the book is to make visible the links between the 
pandemic situation and media legislation (negative and positive), its 
history, its social impact, its effects on the exercise of fundamental 
rights, and the experience, research findings and academic positions in 
Central and Eastern Europe on past and current regulatory issues. It is 
a collection that will add greatly to contemporary research on Central 
and Eastern Europe, and will be of interest to researchers and scholars 
interested in the region, and in wider law, media and socio-political 
issues.
