In this wide-ranging overview, the Euromedia Research Group analyzes the nature and directions of the changes to broadcast and electronic media in Western Europe which are taking place. This volume, following on from the Group's "New Media Politics", explores the increasing importance of transitional multimedia corporations and the various challenges from commercialization and privatization to traditions of public service broadcasting. Particular attention is paid to the development of new forms of local media and the changing regulation of local media.
