Media Governance today is shifting media rules and regulations from national government policies to local; regional; national; multinational and international ones and away from exclusively governmental domains to others; such as market; professional and public interest/pressure groups. Many media-related civil society organisations are based in Brussels; operate at a European level and influence exactly the part of Media Governance that has escaped the national shackles of the member states. But which are those organizations and who do they represent? Which are the relevant EU regulations for the different media industries that they try to influence? How do they participate in the media related debates in the different EU institutions? What are their major position papers? What is the current state of affairs in the European Media Governance relevant to their industry and what are the future issues that they are trying to tackle early enough at a European level? Finally; how are their lobbying efforts coordinated with other political; professional and public interest groups? This book presents the work of 10 of these European organizations from a variety of media sectors; as well as the relevant work of the European Commission; the European Parliament; and the European Consumers Association.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating and ear-openingBy IchthyornisThis is a wonderful book. The book is about Sarah Siddons; but is also about Pascoe the literary scholars comically doomed search to discover a lost soundscape. Reading this book made me think about Romantic theatre differently; but it also made me perk up to the sounds all around me. Pascoe historicizes diverse contexts of listening and hearing and theorizes about the intensity and variety of audience pleasures. The book itself is a pleasure to read; a lovely; loitering investigation of loss and also; quite unexpectedly; funny. I wish more critics wrote like this.
