Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Price, M. Fulfills ASC Institutions Distribution. This course examines the idea of "models" of media regulation. We look at varying techniques and contexts for shaping media policy. One focus will be on transformations of public service broadcasting. Another will be on media in conflict zones. Another theme will be state responses to the permeability of the Internet (and other new technologies). Depending on various research activities, there may be a focus on media reform in the Arab Middle East. We'll use my book, Media and Sovereignty, published by MIT in 2003 and materials produced by BBC Monitoring World Media.
