About this book
Reviews
“I recommend it be read. Faculty teaching an international media course or a politics and media course would find it beneficial. It also can serve as an important reminder to aspiring journalists in the United States and other Western democratic nations that doing independent journalism is dangerous in many nations.” (Anthony Moretti, JMC Quarterly - Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 93 (1), 2016)
'This timely book challenges conventional thinking and will become a touchstone for future theorising and policy making. Integrating the personal, the professional and the political, Hadland provides an essential investigation of the relationship of media and state in post-authoritarian states.' - Martin D. Conboy, University of Sheffield, UK'A book to understand the contradictory and ambiguous relations between the State and the news media in emerging democracies. With his idea of Acquisitive State, based not just on scientific literature but also on his personal experience, Hadland offers a new and stimulating perspective on one of the major problems of contemporary democratisation processes.' - Paolo Mancini, University of Perugia, Italy
'Hadland's book widens the debates about the relationship between media and state in transitional countries by offering insights from outside the Western world. His comparative perspective and emphasis on experiences in the South makes an important contribution to the literature on media and democracy in a global context.' - Herman Wasserman, University of Cape Town, South Africa
