Rethinking Media Pluralism
A Critique of Theories and Policy Discourses
Karppinen Kari
Rethinking Media Pluralism examines different ways in which the concepts of media pluralism and diversity have been theorized and used in contemporary media policy debates. The study criticizes narrow and quantitative conceptions of consumer choice and seeks to advance a critical conception of media pluralism that refers more broadly to the distribution of communicative power in the public sphere.
