Power from the people: new media in and about East Central Europe

Article Abstract:

Citizens of countries in East Central Europe have found since 1989 that there are significant challenges associated with capitalism and democracy, with capitalism inevitably bringing commercialism, crime and inequality. Western journalists have tended to overlook social, economic and cultural change in this region. Furthermore, foreign correspondents are failing to recognize the significance of re-Europeanization in East Central Europe. It is impossible for observers to synthesize the story of media change in East Central European countries.

Echoes of the May 4th movement

Article Abstract:

The Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square, China, honors a conflict well known only in China. The conflict is called the May 4th movement of 1919. This movement is an enduring symbol of great power which ironically is invoked by both the members of the ruling communist regime which linked the movement to the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 and the activists of 1989 whose protestations led to the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
