Hybrid Media and Hybrid Politics: Contesting Informational Uncertainty in Lebanon and Tunisia
This paper investigates the dynamic relationship between hybrid media and hybrid politics in Lebanon and Tunisia. While previous research on the media in hybrid regimes has mainly focused on regime strategies of restricting and manipulating public debate, our analysis moves beyond repression. We argue that the ambiguities of hybrid politics, which combines democratic and authoritarian elements, not only constrain independent and critical reportin…
Special Issue: The Political Aesthetics of Democratization Conflicts
Struggles for democratic change around the world have become highly visible – and highly mediated – events that have moved the site of contestation from the negotiation table to public spaces. As a consequence, these struggles are no longer primarily controlled by political elites but rather by a broad range of participants who have employed new types of communication beyond the spoken word for conveying their demands, including images, sounds, p…

Journalistic norms between universality and domestication: Journalists’ interpretations of press freedom in six new democracies
The global spread of freedom of the press and expression is widely acclaimed as one of the main achievements of democratization over the past two decades. Yet, the meaning of press freedom, how it should be practised and where the boundaries of this new-found freedom lie are fiercely disputed in most new democracies. This article explores how journalists from six new democracies in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Poland), East Asia (South Korea, Taiwan…

How Far Can Media Systems Travel?: Applying Hallin and Mancini's Comparative Framework outside the Western World
Introduction Only a few books in communication studies have triggered as lively a debate in the academic community as Hallin and Mancini's (2004b) Comparing Media Systems . For decades communication scholars have pushed for more comparative research to advance the theoretical foundations of the field and to generate more systematic knowledge of the differences and similarities of systems of communications across time and space (Blumler, McLeod, a…
Political Communication in Postmodern Democracy: Challenging the Primacy of Politics
A Question of Control: Journalists and Politicians in Political Broadcast Interviews
Famous, even notorious, also beyond British waters, is the 1997 television interview in which the BBC’s Jeremy Paxman hounded down then Home Secretary Michael Howard of the Conservative government like a hyena after its prey. Howard was questioned about a meeting between himself and the Director General of the Prison Service in which he was said to have forced the latter to sack the Governor of Parkhurst prison. ‘Did you threaten to overrule him?…

Bad News: Cynical Citizens? Political Information and the Emergence of Civic Culture
Successful consolidation of new democracies involves not only implementation of a new constitution and democratic procedures of decision making. Rather, the viability of democracy is equally dependent on the emergence of a civic culture that is supportive of the new political order. Without active citizens the majority of whom believe that democracy is the best way to govern the country, the survival of new democracies is seriously at risk (Linz …
The Mass Media and Transitions to Democracy: Introduction
Constructing Political Reality in Russia: Izvestiya — Between Old and New Journalistic Practices
Democratization of public communication not only requires the institutional reorganization of the mass media, but also the adoption of new journalistic practices in political reporting. These practices include a new conception of the role of journalists in society and new standards of the quality of news reporting. This article takes the Izvestiya, one of Russia's quality papers, as an example to discuss the specific problems Russian print media …
Massenmedien als Brücke zur Welt der Politik
In diesem Beitrag wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Nutzung der Nachrichtensendungen des Fernsehens und der politischen Beteiligungsbereitschaft diskutiert. Das Fernsehen wird als intermediäre Instanz begriffen, das, ähnlich den im gesamtgesellschaftlichen Rahmen wirkenden Organisationen und den im interpersonalen Bereich handelnden Meinungsführern, zum Brückenschlag zwischen Individuum und Politik beiträgt
