The role of European political parties in closing the communication gap within the European Union. A critical view

Michal Jacuńsk

Central European Journal of Communication > 2008 > 1 > 1 > 41-48

European institutions failed to involve and engage public opinion over a number of years. EU communication was seen by the citizens as a ‘Brussels aff air’. There are no big EU-wide media. National media look at EU policies only within the context of their national political system. The field of political information is clearly dominated by national media. European Commission in 2006 point- ed at...

Wayne Wanta

Central European Journal of Communication > 2008 > 1 > 1 > 111-121

Party system and media in Poland after 1989

Piotr Sula

Central European Journal of Communication > 2008 > 1 > 1 > 145-155

The importance of the media for the party system formation in Poland in the transforma- tion is unarguable. This signifi cance resulted from the lack of developed party structures that could be involved in process of communication between party elites and electorate. Hence, media became the only possible instrument that might have been used in arousing electorate’s interest. However, the interdependence...

Epp Lauk, Svennik Hoyer

Central European Journal of Communication > 2008 > 1 > 1 > 5-22

The system and practices of both German censorship in Norway in 1940–1945 and of Soviet censorship in Estonia in 1944–1990 were, because of their totalitarian nature, very similar.

EU structural funds’ publicity and the practice of journalism and public relations in Lithuania

Laima Nevinskaitė

Central European Journal of Communication > 2009 > 2 > 1(2) > 149-164

The aim of the article is to analyse the practice of EU structural funds projects’ publicity in Lithuania, concentrating on the issue of the so called “paid articles,” used by many of the EU fund- ed projects. It is considered to be a negative practice, since in this case a big part of the information on EU funded projects is presented in a cost ineffective way. It might also reinforce the tendencies...

The country of origin principle and competition among national regulatory régimes in East Central Europe

Gábor Polyák, Gergely László Szőke

Central European Journal of Communication > 2009 > 2 > 1(2) > 83-97

The cornerstone of European media regulation is the principle of the “country of origin”, which makes it possible for broadcasters to establish themselves in any EEA Member State and to broadcast their programmes in another one (CEC, 2006). The less competitive is this regulatory framework when compared with other countries, the greater is the possibility that broadcasters will set up their operation...

Andrei Richter

Central European Journal of Communication > 2009 > 2 > 1(2) > 15-26
