"The editors have brought together a team of top experts to provide an understanding of the complexities of media policymaking in Europe. Essential policy issues such as convergence, diversity and pluralism, as well as questions concerning intellectual copyright and competition policy, are discussed in intelligent and accessible language. The book should be required reading for students, politicians and citizens concerned about the cultural future of the European region." - Cees J. Hamelink, Professor of International Communication, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands "This book accounts an impressive overview of European media policies, and is therefore highly recommended for everyone interested in the European institutions, but is also a 'must read' for Euro-critics who are looking for a critical, in-depth review of European media policies...As the book may be a starting point for the new policies to come, The Palgrave Handbook of European Media Policy not only targets scholars and students studying European media policy, but is also highly relevant to policymakers and practitioners who want to take action." - Communications (2015)
