The book brings together experts from Media and Communication Studies with Postcolonial Studies scholars to illustrate how the two fields may challenge and enrich each other. Its essays introduce readers to selected topics including »Media Convergence«, »Transcultural Subjectivity«, »Hegemony«, »Piracy« and »Media History and Colonialism«. Drawing on examples from film, literature, music, TV and the internet, the contributors investigate the transnational dimensions in today's media, engage with local and global media politics and discuss media outlets as economic agents, thus illustrating mechanisms of power in postcolonial and neo-colonial mediascapes. »[Der Sammelband macht] durch diese kritische Beschäftigung mit multiplen Perspektiven und Gegenständen auf die zahlreichen Interaktionspotentiale von Postkolonialen Studien und Medienwissenschaften aufmerksam und inspiriert dazu, diese Bereiche auch weiterhin in Dialog miteinander zu bringen.« Syntia Hasenöhrl, [rezens.tfm], 15.11.2018 "This volume is a methodologically diverse and knowledgeable cornucopia of insights into one of the most vibrant and essential fields of contemporary media studies." Eckart Voigts, Anglistik, 28/1 (2017) »Der Band verfolgt ein zeitgemäßes und mutiges Vorhaben, das forscherisches Interesse weckt. Er lädt zu einer breiten (selbst-)kritischen Diskussion darüber ein, was Postcolonial Studies heute sind und worin der Gewinn vermeintlich postkolonialer medienwissenschaftlicher Perspektiven liegt.« Kaya de Wolff, r:k:m, 24.10.2016 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 3 (2017)

This book compares media and political systems in East-Central as well as in Western Europe in order to identify the reasons possibly responsible for the extensive and intensive party control over the media. This phenomenon is widely experienced in many of the former communist countries since the political transformation. The author argues that differences in media freedom and in the politicization of the news media are rooted in differences in party structures between old and new democracies, and, notably, the fact that young parties in the new members of the European Union are short of resources, which makes them more likely to take control of and to exploit media resources.
