British and American Mass Media

Автор – Съставител: Edited by Madeleine Vassileva

British and American Mass Media discusses some of the most important questions in the development of the mass media in Britain and the USA. The historical development of the press and the electronic mass media in the two cultural contexts is viewed as a part of such hot issues in mass media studies today as the different approaches used in the two countries to the study of the media, the role of the private and public media, the media regulating institutions and censorship, the editorial values and standards, the relationship between media and democracy and the emergence of a new mode of information. There is a special attention paid to the BBC as one of the best examples of a public media institution. The book gives some most recent data for the development of the media in the USA, discussing the problem of the big monopolies and globalization as well as the freedom of speech and the impact of the electronic media on politics.
British and American Mass Mediawill be of interest to students, researchers and journalists who are willing to learn more about the mass media in the UK and the USA and are looking for useful models for the promotion of the role of the media in Bulgaria. The contributors have been part of the project for developing Mass Media Studies at the Department of English and American Studies at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridsky”.
