O papel da mídia

Está na internet, grátis, o livro Reclaiming the Media: Communication Rights and Democratic Media Roles, editado por Bart Cammaerts e Nico Carpentier, nas edições Intellect. Sobre a obra: "This book aims to look at four thematic areas that structure the opportunities for democratising (media) democracy. A first section is devoted to citizenship and the public spheres, giving special attention to the general theme of communication rights. The second section elaborates further on a notion central to communication rights, namely that of participation. The third section returns to the traditional representational role in relation to democracy and citizenship, scrutinizing and criticizing the democratic efforts of contemporary journalism. The fourth section moves outside of the (traditional) media system, and deals with the diversity of media and communication strategies of activists."
