The Decline of Public Access and Neo-Liberal Media Regimes

Více o knize

The book explores the decline of public access channels as a significant experiment in media democracy, attributing this downturn not to technological obsolescence but to the rise of a neo-liberal media regime. It examines how neo-liberalism reshapes public obligations and media regulation, undermining non-profit media and public discourse. The author argues that while social media is perceived as a space for free communication, it has been colonized by neo-liberal principles, ultimately restricting popular democracy and diminishing civil society institutions.
