These reports contain the project's first year findings and present an overview of the transformation and current state of each of our ten countries' media landscapes, putting them into their demographic, economic and political context. They focus on print and electronic media market structures, on media regulation and the regulatory authorities, and on journalism culture.
The aim is to present this information in such a way as to facilitate comparison across the ten nations studied, which is one of the project's next tasks. The findings are based on existing academic sources, documents and corporate materials, and a series of elite interviews conducted in 2010. The reports were last updated in June-July 2011.
