European Media Policy: Why Margins Actually Matter (original) (raw)

Media, Margins and Civic Agency

Abstract

This chapter argues that media policy-making in European countries tends to be restricted to nation-centric frameworks, and it shows that pan-European agents are not empowered to work with transnational approaches to cultural diversity when it comes to media regulation. The nation-centric approach is particularly striking when we take into account the ‘new’ complexity of contemporary Europe, which is linked particularly to migration that has been a major factor in the social (as well as the cultural and demographic) transformation of contemporary societies. The underlying principles and approaches that characterise European media policy are largely ignorant of these developments on the ground in Europe and remain caught up in the ‘national container’ approach.
