TELOS 75
The central dossier of this 75th issue of TELOS shows the inevitable link between the “old” debates on mass communication and the new economic and political challenges of financial stability and pluralism in the media system. The result of the research conducted by a team that has long been observing the evolution and present state of public policies on written press, on their national philosophies and results. This work also focuses on how to help to build diversity in the new communicative environment that is emerging.
Aid for written press was indeed one of the pioneering issues in communication research, especially in Europe, but the hypnotic shine of the audiovisual phenomenon has largely quietened this debate in recent decades, while research on the press was postponed and cast aside. And all of this despite the weight and social influence sustained by the daily press and its early transfer to the Internet.
