About the Book

Christian Potschkaprovides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the evolution of British and German broadcasting policies with a specific focus on processes of marketization and liberalization as they have affected national policy-making processes, regulatory frameworks and media structures. The study frames the development of communications policy in two ways. First, the book explores tensions in both countries between the public and private sectors; second, it evaluates the differential impact of federalization and centralization.By discussing the various political, economic and cultural factors relevant to the emergence of contemporary broadcasting structures and institutions,Potschka contextualizes the development and impact of policies on media systems. Drawing attention to the dynamics and changing paradigms of communications policy-making and regulatory trends,this bookhighlights many of the ideas and values that have been brought to bear on processes of policy-making in the UK and Germany.

Review :
'This is a landmark work in the comparative study of public service broadcasting. It is deeply researched, conceptually sophisticated and a must read for anyone interested in the condition and possible fate of public broadcasters who have been such a vital element within the culture, society and politics of Britain and Germany for decades.' - Michael Tracey, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA 'This is a very well researched, carefully structured and stimulating account of the evolution of British and German broadcasting policies. Its analysis of the impact of marketization and liberalization on our communications systems should serve as a warning to us all.' - Des Freedman, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK 'This is an essential and exciting contemporary document of media policy.' - Professor Christian Schwarz-Schilling
