The difficult birth of the fourth estate: media development and democracy assistance in the post-conflict Balkans
Karlowicz, Izabella |
| | How can donors and managers of international democracy assistance programs contribute most effectively to the democratization of media systems? Would unbridled pluralization of the private media sector, or strict regulation and focus on public service media contribute best to democratization in post-ethnic conflict areas where ethnic stereotypes and hate speech may dominate public discourse? This chapter blends an international relations perspective with media theory, and offers detailed recommendations for international organizations regarding media development and regulation as well as technical and political considerations in South Eastern Europe. | |  |
