Summary: Interesting Policy Questions Concerning Media and Democracy
Comment: *Democracy on the Air* is the single most helpful public policy guidebook available on the role of the electronic media in democratic countries. The guidebook explores "how autonomous and responsible media systems function in democracies"; "the ways in which television can be used in the coverage of democratic elections"; and "how journalists cover the lives of ethnic minorities and ethnic conflict, if and when it arises, as well as integrate minorities into the journalistic profession." This is what the guidebook promises, and indeed does, deliver, with an added overview and analysis of policy alternatives. For those interested in learning about public policy, democracy, and the media, this book is clearly written, globally informed and informative, and covers topics such as political freedom for broadcasting, news coverage of elections, paid political advertising, and coverage of conflict and ethnic minorities. Jimmy Carter's foreword is of particular interest.
