Regulating the Changing Media

Using data from a wide selection of states including EU members and the US, this new work on media regulation analyses and compares developments across the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors. Using national studies, the book examines the ability of the law and other regulatory techniques to influence such a rapidly changing area. It exposes clearly the regulatory choices that are being made to control the so-called 'new media', including the internet, as well as examining the methods used to govern the more conventional media.
