History of the Media in Central and Eastern Europe

Year: 2019

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This chapter discusses the recent history of the media in four former communist countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, and Poland) in Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on the transfer of media institutions and culture from “old” to “young” democracies. In line with theories of “multiple post-communisms,” it reveals major differences among these countries while also disclosing a number of similarities, including the political instrumentalization of media, party capture of public service broadcasters, partisan journalism, and excessive commercialization.
