Summary

• In the face of technological and ideological challenges, European democracies have been experimenting with different regulatory regimes for audio-visual media. In this thought-provoking book, Rachel Craufurd Smith considers the appropriateness of judicial intervention in broadcasting. Starting from a historical perspective, she examines the changes which have occurred in the perceptions of the role of broadcasting within society, and the structure of the industry itself.
• Drawing on concrete cases from Italy, France, and Britain, as well as decisions of the European Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights, she explores challenges made through the courts to the monopoly position of broadcasters and considers the implications for freedom of expression and the future of the broadcasting industry.
