In the new geography of communication defined by global networks and the internationalization of information flow, the position of regional and local media has been upgraded.
In the second and extensively revised edition of this volume, thirty-one university academics, researchers, and journalists examine the evolution of regional media following the deregulation of the broader communication field, through the comparison of specific countries in Western, Central-Eastern, and Southern Europe.
Additionally, the relationships between journalism and journalism education with new media and technological advances in computing are analyzed within the framework of globalization and European integration.
