Media Law – Episode 5: Media Policy and Media Governance

This episode delves into the core concepts of media governance, examining the frameworks that shape how media systems are regulated and managed. Referencing insights from the Routledge Handbook of Media Law, we explore the roles of key stakeholders—such as regulatory bodies, governments, private entities, and civil society—in shaping the media landscape. This episode discusses governance models, the impact of media conglomerates, the influence of global digital platforms, and the regulatory mechanisms that aim to balance media freedom with accountability. By understanding these governance structures, we gain a clearer view of the challenges and responsibilities in media regulation today.
