Presented by Klimkiewicz (Institute of Journalism and Social Communication, Jagiellonian U., Poland), the 14 chapters of this book analyze key issues of European Union and Council of Europe media policy in the dual context of globalization and European Union enlargement. Opening chapters address overarching issues of democratic regulation of media and communication, media pluralism and freedom of expression, and integrated communications policy. Issues of content and service-related regulation are then examined in chapters discussing rules relating to on-demand services, freedom of speech and the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, cultural objectives of the European Quota Policy in the context of Czech television, protection of minors from inappropriate television content, and challenges of regulation of the blogosphere. The remaining contributions explore issues of structural regulation, including public service media provision, media concentration, and diversity of content.
