Media, Nationalism and European Identities
Explores patterns of interaction between the mass media and identity formation in the context of Europeanization. On the one hand, the major contribution of the volume is a comprehensive framework that considers media impacts on four levels of identity: European, regional, national, and ethnic minority identities. On the other hand, authors offer cutting edge analysis of the structural transformation of European media institutions, and policies t…
PSB 3.0: Reinventing European PSB
The history of European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) has so far encompassed two main periods: the time up until the 1980s, before it faced commercial competition (PSB 1.0) and the period of great upheavals and change since then (PSB 2.0). PSB also needed to find its bearings in a multi-channel broadcasting landscape, leading to ‘a significant level of commercialisation, where differences with commercial television are, in general, relatively…
Media in Transition: The case of Poland
Oleg Manaev: The “Civil (Society) Constructor” Soldiers On∗
The focus of this essay is Professor Oleg Manaev, a Belarussian social scientist and dissident who may fall victim to President Lukashenka's persecution of all forms of free scientific inquiry and free speech. This call for solidarity with Manaev shows his situation and efforts to promote democratization in his country against the context of the authoritarian system in Belarus
Ideas in Our Heads: Introduction of PSB as Part of Media System Change in Central and Eastern Europe
The successful introduction of public service broadcasting (PSB) is so extraordinarily difficult to achieve that it could be regarded as a true test of post-Communist transformation in general – specifically in terms of the consolidation of democracy. Of the three media policy orientations developed in post-Communist Europe, ‘idealistic’, ‘mimetic’ and ‘atavistic’, one – the ‘idealistic’ – was immediately rejected throughout. Instead, the media p…
Media Within and Without the State: Press Freedom in Eastern Europe
John Keane (1991) notes that, in today's debates on the media, the bodies of Tom Paine and other early modern protagonists of “liberty of the press” [are being exhumed]. This is because in countries such as the United States, Ital), Poland, Germany and Britain a curious thing is happening. 7;6e old language of “liberty of the press,” shaped by the ethos of private market competition, is making a grand return to the centre stage of public debate a…
Equality for the Downtrodden, Freedom for the Free: Changing Perspectives on Social Communication in Central and Eastern Europe
Avec la chute du communisme en 1989, est apparue l'introduction du capitalisme dans les pays d'Europe centrale et d'Europe orientale. Quel est l'impact d'un tel changement sur les reformes de communication sociale mises en place par l'opposition ? De quelle maniere se tranforment les medias dans ces anciens pays communistes ? Reprenant le schema d'analyse de McQuail, l'A. etudie des notions essentielles a la communication, telle que liberte, just…

Solidarity' and Media Reform in Poland
The field of social communication is central to Solidarity's efforts to transform Poland into a self-governing commonwealth. It approaches democratic communication as communicative democracy, i.e. as a means of achieving democracy in a wider sense, and as empowerment, with right to communicate as a way of satisfying both a fundamental human need and a fundamental social need, a prerequisite of democracy. Solidarity has always gone to great length…
Musical chairs? The three public spheres of Poland
Following Jurgen Habermas, Nicholas Garnham defines the public sphere as the network of media, educational, knowledge and opinion-forming institutions within civil society whose operation is conducive to the emergence of public opinion as a political power. Of those, the mass media are today perhaps the most powerful element of the public sphere. Since 1976, Poland has also had an opposition public sphere, consisting, as far as its media are conc…

Introduction to a Special Issue on Mass Communication Research East of the Elbe — Coming Out From Under the Shadow
Polish Broadcasting Studies in Search of a Raison d'Etre
Polish broadcasting studies languish in limbo. The power structure, having defined the goals of the broadcast media as serving the perpetuation of the social order and arranged their institutional and organizational structures accordingly, has no real need of research, especially as this might challenge the system. The same goes for broadcasters. The audience, living in a state of anomie, stress and fatigue, is guided in its viewing and listening…
Polish Broadcasting: The Choices Ahead
Political crises in Poland have frequently been accompanied by criticisms of the system of mass communication; no more so than during the birth of `Solidarity'. These criticisms may be regarded as attempts to modify perceptions of the political role of the media, and thus the philosophy underlying the system itself. Employing an analytical framework which regards the structure of broadcast media in any period as the result of a compromise between…
