Journalism and political communication unbound |
| Summary |
"After discussions of the media environments in the three countries, an overview and critique of current theories of media systems highlight how existing frameworks rest on the misguided presumption that nations and their press freedom landscapes exist within a state of linear democratization-that societies have progressed and will continue to progress from non-democracy to democracy-when, in actuality, specific events can unravel structures and derail democracy-building processes. Many existing frameworks are grounded in Western ways of thinking and tend to take a universalistic approach to the press that doesn't account for transitions and change. Press freedom means different things in different countries and within different contexts, making it difficult for any theory to aptly apply, thus, a more detailed set of considerations for understanding media systems outside of the Western world is needed"-- Provided by publisher |
