Free markets, free media?,: reflections on the political economy of the press in Asia
Cherian, George
Free markets, free media?,: reflections on the political economy of the press in Asia - Singapore Asian Media Information & Communication Centre 2008 - 164 p. - AMIC Asian communication series .
Press systems across Asia have undergone dramatic change in recent decades. The grips of authoritarian governments have been prised open by democratic forces in the Philippines, South Korea and Indonesia. Other regimes, such as China and Vietnam, retain tight political control but have allowed the growth of aggressively market-driven sectors that have transformed the media landscape. This faith in markets forces, though nowhere unconditional, has been strong enough to have tilted decisively the discourse on and practice of press freedom. However, there are also large costs and benefits that fail to be incorporated in the decision-making of producers and consumers operating within markets. (http://www.amazon.com)
