In Media Regulation, two leading scholars of the media examine the
challenges of regulation in the global mediated sphere. This book
explores the way that regulation affects the relations between
government, the media and communications market, civil society, citizens
and consumers. Drawing on theories of governance and the public sphere,
the book critically analyzes issues at the heart of today's media, from
the future of public service broadcasting to burdens on individuals to
develop their media literacy.
Peter Lunt and Sonia Livingstone incisively lay bare shifts in
governance and the new role of the public sphere which implicate
self-regulation, the public interest, the role of civil society and the
changing risks and opportunities for citizens and consumers. It is
essential reading to understand the forces that are reshaping the media
landscape.
