Media and democracy: A strange paradox

Article Abstract:

A paradox exists between the declared political objectives of broadcasting and the available television output in Europe. Television is supposed to help shape citizens' opinions on key issues and enable their participation in the democratic process through 'knowledge oriented' programming. However, the available inferior and irrelevant programming is hindering the purpose.
