Synopsis:

There has been a marked increase in the numbers and types of electronic media outlets through which ethnic minorities can express themselves. This raises the possibility of increased ethnic minority participation in the public sphere. This book examines the nature of that participation in several European nations as well as North America, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and selected nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia. The research questions addressed include: What effects to governmental, economic, administrative, and societal structures and factors have on ethnic minority self-presentation through minority-operated radio, television and internet services? In what forms and to what extend does that self-presentation constitute participation in the public sphere? And how do ethnic minority media services identify and interact with the communities they serve?
