Product description

192 pages - 13.5/19.5 cm - ebadi - 2021 edition ***** in this book, john keane, the english thinker whose contributions to democratic theory are well-known, explores the relationship between the media and democracy, seeking answers to a series of questions that have become vitally important in today’s world: how did the ideal of press freedom come about? Is this ideal still relevant today, in an era where media holding companies have established global electronic empires? Do new communication technologies facilitate or hinder the realization of this ideal? As the twentieth century came to an end, was it possible to create a communication system that would allow citizens to participate freely and equally? The author, who is particularly known for his work on civil society, not only criticizes select public service models such as the bbc while seeking answers to these questions, but also highlights the contradictions and shortcomings of market liberalism, which has become the dominant viewpoint worldwide in recent years. Keane argues that market fetishism, rather than creating genuine freedom of choice in the realm of communication, actually reduces the available options, thereby highlighting the importance of non-market and non-state media in terms of democracy. This is an insightful essay that calmly and thoroughly addresses the most important issues of our age, namely media and democracy, and offers both reason and ideas for the ongoing debate about the new communication system that is currently being fought out in a rather blind manner in our country. In his foreword, haluk şahin discusses how the issues keane addresses are connected to the changing communication landscape in turkey, which is undergoing significant transformations due to the impact of the media boom.
