This book examines processes of media change in post-Communist countries. In this re-examination of the media under the Communist system and its role in the transition, the stress is on analysis of media policy and media systems. The author develops a model of change in Central and Eastern Europe and how it can be applied. As such, the intention is to illustrate the main elements and mechanisms of the process as exemplified by the situation in selected countries. Hoping to make the book as forward looking as possible, and to grasp the full range of factors weighing on media policies today and in the future, discussion is devoted to the way international integration has affected and will affect media policy in post-Communist countries.
