Opis

Since the collapse of communism in 1989 Eastern Europe has experienced a fundamental transformation in its economic, political and social institutions. Observers of the region have often viewed the media as little more than instruments of propaganda in the hands of the party-state which can now be easily made into independent sources of communication. However, the function and effects of the media within communist and post-communist Eastern Europe have been more diverse than such generalizations would indicate.

"O"Neil suggests, the "radically different ways" in which the media-state relations were institutionalized under Communism have shaped the varied contours of the present struggle for media change in the region".
