Book review: central and eastern european media incomparative perspective

Appearing more than twenty years after the revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe, this book takes stock not only of the changes but also the continuities in media systems of the region since 1989. To what extent are media institutions still controlled by political forces? To what extent are media markets operating in Central and Eastern Europe? Do media systems in Central and Eastern Europe resemble media systems in other parts of Europe? Paul Brighton finds a useful and informative set of insights into how our European neighbours’ media landscapes are not so very different from our own.
