CAN THE MEDIA SERVE DEMOCRACY? ESSAYS IN HONOR OF JAY G. BLUMLER JUST PUBLISHED
Can the Media Serve Democracy?, edited by Stephen Coleman, Giles Moss and Katy Parry, has just been published by Palgrave MacMillan. In it, leading international scholars of political communication debate this important question from a range of perspectives. Authors of the collection’s 19 chapters hail from six different national backgrounds and include such field-shaping figures as Lance Bennett, Denis McQuail, Sonia Livingstone, Elihu Katz, Gianpietro Mazzoleni, James Curran and Winfried Schulz, among others. The essays were brought together as a Festschrift in honour of Jay G. Blumler, an interview with whom in the book’s concluding chapter presents his latest ideas on democracy, citizenship and the media under the title of `Values Are Always at Stake’.
