The book offers a comparative analysis of the evolving mass media systems in Western Europe, highlighting the interplay of technology, economics, and politics. It examines how public policy can foster media freedom and pluralism, despite potential constraints from state and market forces. Key issues include the effects of public regulation, media ownership concentration, and the rise of new technologies like transfrontier satellite broadcasting. The author also addresses the commercialization of national broadcasting and the European Union's media policies in this changing landscape.
