Media Policy under the Second Orbán GovernmentThis book compares media and political systems in East-Central as well as in Western Europe in order to identify the reasons possibly responsible for the extensive and intensive party control over the media. This phenomenon is widely experienced in many of the former communist countries since the political transformation. The author argues that differences in media freedom and in the politicization of the news media are rooted in differences in party structures between old and new democracies, and, notably, the fact that young parties in the new members of the European Union are short of resources, which makes them more likely to take control of and to exploit media resources.JournalismEurope, EasternJournalismEurope, CentralFreedom of the pressEurope, EasternFreedom of the pressEurope, CentralCommunication in politicsEurope, EasternCommunication in politicsEurope, CentralPolitical partiesEurope, EasternPolitical partiesEurope, CentralEastern Europe, Democracy, Media politics, Media regulation, Political parties, Postcommunism.JournalismJournalismFreedom of the pressFreedom of the pressCommunication in politicsCommunication in politicsPolitical partiesPolitical parties077Bajomi-Lázár Péter1655095MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816308003321Party colonisation of the media in Central and Eastern Europe4007299UNINA
