Media Law in Germany
Author: Frank Fechner
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403505273
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this analysis of media law in Germany surveys the massively altered and enlarged legal landscape traditionally encompassed in laws pertaining to freedom of expression and regulation of communications. Everywhere, a shift from mass media to mass self-communication has put enormous pressure on traditional law models. An introduction describing the main actors and salient aspects of media markets is followed by in-depth analyses of print media, radio and television broadcasting, the Internet, commercial communications, political advertising, concentration in media markets, and media regulation. Among the topics that arise for discussion are privacy, cultural policy, protection of minors, competition policy, access to digital gateways, protection of journalists’ sources, standardization and interoperability, and liability of intermediaries. Relevant case law is considered throughout, as are various ethical codes. A clear, comprehensive overview of media legislation, case law, and doctrine, presented from the practitioner’s point of view, this book is a valuable time-saving resource for all concerned with media and communication freedom. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Germany will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative media law.

Media Freedom and Pluralism
Author: Beata Klimkiewicz
Publisher: Central European University Press
ISBN: 615521185X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Addresses a critical analysis of major media policies in the European Union and Council of Europe at the period of profound changes affecting both media environments and use, as well as the logic of media policy-making and reconfiguration of traditional regulatory models. The analytical problem-related approach seems to better reflect a media policy process as an interrelated part of European integration, formation of European citizenship, and exercise of communication rights within the European communicative space. The question of normative expectations is to be compared in this case with media policy rationales, mechanisms of implementation (transposing rules from EU to national levels), and outcomes.

Pluralism and the Mass Media
Author: Peter Humphreys
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
West Germany's mass-media system is subjected to a detailed historical analysis starting with the legacy of authoritarianism and democratic failure and concluding with the new media structures of the 1980s (though not including Reunification). The work's approach is that of political science, and in particular policy analysis, emphasising throughout concepts like interest, influence, power and accountability. More specifically, the work addresses, by empirical inquiry, the debate between pluralists, neo-pluralists and marxists about how pluralistic or otherwise media policy making has been. It focuses on the most important controversies: notably, questions of press- concentration, media freedom, media ownership, public accountability and control, commercialism, cross-media monopoly formation and the introduction of the ǹew media' (cable and satellite broadcasting). On the basis of the evidence, the work comes down in favour of a neo-pluralist approach. It is acknowledged that the pluralist ideal has been abridged. The sub- sectors of the press and, more recently, commercial broadcasting bear significant features of dominance by the giant press concerns. Similarly the public-service broadcasting corporations have fallen prey to a considerable politicisation. At the same time, there is strong evidence that important countervailing power has been exerted against the dominance of any unified elite or privileged group. Pluralistic influences flow from the complex group politics of the mass media in a federal system and from the important role of political institutions, and institutionalised procedures and norms, in particular the policy- shaping role of the courts, in the determination of media policy outcomes in the Federal Republic.
