Media and Accountability in Latin America

Angebote / Angebote:

This study approaches a pressing question for the public, the media, and in academia: how can the media be held accountable? By focusing on the relationship between media and accountability in the understudied region of Latin America, Mariella Bastian provides a theoretical framework for the analysis of media accountability (MA) beyond the Global North. The underlying conditions for the development of MA in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay are identified by conducting a multi-method study. The author also gives an overview of the status quo of the implementation of both traditional and innovative MA instruments.Content Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay: Background and media landscapesDe-westernizing the media accountability approach: Towards a Latin American design of accountability framesConditions for media accountability in Latin AmericaThe status quo of online media accountability in Latin AmericaMedia accountability instruments in Brazil, Argentina, and UruguaySpecial cases and typology of media accountability instruments in Latin AmericaTarget GroupsLecturers and students of journalism studies, communication science, Latin American studies, political sciences Journalists, media-related NGOs, policy makersThe AuthorDr. Mariella Bastian is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Information Law (University of Amsterdam).
