Recenzii

“This elegant and impressive compilation of essays on media policy research, edited by three Belgian scholars and one Swiss, arrives at a timely moment. … the essays provide a unique reference book for those working in the field. … It is a welcome contribution indeed, especially during this period of transformation, when so many established norms seem to be in question, and when the moment calls out desperately for new methods of policy-making and policy research.” (Monroe E. Price and Stefaan G. Verhulst, Journal of Digital Media & Policy, Vol. 12 (3), 2021)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Understanding media policy is key to the study of polities and politics. Whatever the insights into policy processes and their outcomes, research must be methodologically rigorous. This book on methodology is an enormously useful guide to ensuring that media policy research has a robust foundation for policy influence and intervention.”
Robin Mansell, Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

“Recent social and technological changes require that media policymaking, research and analysis utilize methodologically sound approaches and techniques. The handbook’s contribution to the field is thus timely and much needed, bringing together top experts and creating a unique and valuable resource for academics and policy makers alike.”
Amit M. Schejter, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and Penn State University, USA
