PUBLIC SPHERES AND MEDIATED SOCIAL NETWORKS IN THE WESTERN CONTEXT AND BEYOND
PETROS IOSIFIDIS & MARK WHEELER
Palgrave Global Media Policy and Business Series Editors Petros Iosifidis City University London, United Kingdom Jeanette Steemers University of Westminster London, United Kingdom Gerald Sussman Portland State University Portland, Oregon, USA
This innovative series examines the wider social, political, economic and technological changes arising from the globalization of the media and communications industries and assesses their impact on matters of business practice, regulation and policy. Considering media convergence, industry concentration, and new communications practices, the series makes reference to the paradigmatic shift from a system based on national decision-making and the traditions of public service in broadcast and telecommunications delivery to one that is demarcated by commercialization, privatization and monopolization. Bearing in mind this shift, and based on a multi-disciplinary approach, the series tackles three key questions: To what extent do new media developments require changes in regulatory philosophy and objectives? To what extent do new technologies and changing media consumption require changes in business practices and models? And to what extent does privatization alter the creative freedom and public accountability of media enterprises?
