A free press is often asserted to be essential for democracy. The first point is incorrect and the second is inadequate as a policy guide. Part I of this book shows that unique aspects of media products prevent markets from providing for audience desires. Part II shows that four prominent, but different, theories of democracy lead to different conceptions of good journalistic practice, media policy, and proper constitutional principles. Part II makes clear that the choice among democratic theories is crucial for understanding what should be meant by free press. Part III explores international free trade in media products. Contrary to the dominant American position, it shows that Parts I and II's economic and democratic theory justify deviations from free trade in media products. 410 0$aCommunication, society and politics. 517 3 $aMedia, Markets, & Democracy 606 $aMass media$xMarketing 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aFreedom of the press 606 $aMitjans de comunicació de massa$2thub 606 $aLlibertat d'informació$2thub 606 $aDemocràcia$2thub 606 $aPropaganda política$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMass media$xMarketing. 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aFreedom of the press. 615 7$aMitjans de comunicació de massa 615 7$aLlibertat d'informació 615 7$aDemocràcia 615 7$aPropaganda política 676 $a302.23 700 $aBaker$b C.
