This edited book examines key challenges in the digital era and their implications for journalism practice and public debate in emerging media markets. It specifically focuses on evidence from selected Southern and Eastern European countries as they represent cases where media markets face bigger technical and organizational challenges, but still share some similarities with their counterparts in central, western, and northern Europe.
