doi:10.5771/9783748945352

Summary

This book analyses the new structure of democratic public discourse and reinterprets the meaning of media freedom. It discusses the development of European electronic media regulation in a historical and regulatory perspective and presents how the new digital regulation has organically developed on its grounds. The new digital regulation is introduced primarily from the perspective of how it contributes to establishing a new media order. This interdisciplinary discussion intersects law, media science and political studies and addresses readers interested in the development of new media, democracy, or technology regulation. The author's research focuses on media freedom and media regulation, with a particular interest in new technologies.
