Maoism vs. media in the marketplace

Article Abstract:

Sweeping economic reforms in China has led to the opening up of its mass media which was unthinkable of some years ago, but it is likely to fall prey to strict policies of government. Media control in China was adopted from Russia in the 1950s, giving power to 'Party branches'. The State General Publishing Administration oversees the print media. Increasing advertising income has revolutionized media programming. The government is trying to check the influence of foreign satellite programmes. Decreasing financial control over media has helped it grow as an independent entity.

Press freedom-Balkan style

Article Abstract:

The Bosnian leaders rhetoric on press freedom sound hollow as they continue to suppress the Balkan media. In Bosnia, the television is manipulated by President Alija Izetbegovic's ruling party to reinforces ethnic passions. In Belgrade and Zagreb, the independent media are suppressed for failing to adhere to the required operational standards. President Slobodan Milosevic stifles dissent by challenging privatization laws and manipulating the circulation of the independent dailies. However, international pressure can ensure freedom of the press in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia.
