About this book

Comparing Media Systems: Three Models of Media and Politics (Communication, Society and Politics) by Hallin, Daniel C.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521543088.

Proposing a framework for comparative analysis of the relationship between the media and the political system, this book surveys media institutions in eighteen West European and North American democracies. It identifies the principal dimensions of variation in media systems and the political variables which have shaped their evolution. It then pinpoints three major models of media systems development (the Polarized Pluralist, Democratic Corporatist and Liberal models) and explains why the media play a different role in politics in each of these systems.
