Television and the Public Interest by Jay G Blumler

Explores the achievements of European broadcasting and attempts to assess the potential for maintaining its public function in changing circumstances. It also surveys the different values which European media systems have sought to protect.

`Given the enormous social, political and legal changes across Europe, which, as discussed in Part 1, have direct and substantial consequences for broadcasting orders in many countries, the book′s attention to its subject matter is timely and welcome′ - Sociology

`should be in the personal library of those interested in comparative media systems. It would also make a suitable text for an international course examining changes taking place in European radio and television.′ - Journal of Communication
