Abstract
This book is a much-needed contribution to journalistic studies that allows us to have a closer and more nuanced look at media systems and press cultures in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) from a non-Western perspective. The volume is of high value to anyone who is interested in the diversity that underlies the unifying term of “post-communist media.” Most of its authors rely on rich data collected throughout lengthy periods of time on the territory of Central and Eastern Europe, which allows us to see not only the current state of “Eastern” media, but its development throughout time.
Highlights
Issue This book review is part of the special issue "Turbulences of the Central and Eastern European Media", edited by Epp Lauk (University of Jyväskylä, Finland)
The book fulfills this task on both levels; its authors focus on an analysis of non-Western press, as well as offer alternative analytic models that help analyze non-Western media systems on their own terms, taking into account cultural, social, historical, and political peculiarities of the regions of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
This volume adds a third level to de-Westernization by giving a voice to scholars who themselves proceed from diverse, non-Western backgrounds
