The post-communist development of media systems has been uneven in the countries of the region. Television and newspapers, combined with the emergence of social media have had great influence on the political debate in various countries. Ownership of the media has been a factor in many instances. The integration of traditionally isolated Central/Eastern Europe into larger, worldwide trends have fundamentally changed the way we look at the media in this region. This volume proposes to address the transition of the media and communication industries in the contemporary period.

The contributions discuss, among other things, the obstacles that still remain for the media to play an effective watchdog role in the new democracies, and whether the advent of the Internet and social media has helped or hindered the transformation to a powerful, independent media. The discussion further examines whether advertising agencies have targeted post-communist citizens differently than those in Western European countries and examine if the media markets in the post-communist region are fundamentally different than in Western Europe and North America. A second focus of the volume is the media coverage of social issues like domestic violence, in an attempt to draw attention to issues and influence policy in a more aware and open society. This establishes the trend of post-communist media following the example of western media practice.

The implications of the Central European media transformation for the newly transforming media markets – in the post-Soviet space, suggest a new phase in the development of the medium. The impact of global influences on regional expression is an important phase in the political and social changes that are underway. This volume makes an important interdisciplinary contribution in examining the development of the media.
