Comparing media systems got off to a poor start with a slim book by three American scholars, Four Theories of the Press (Siebert et al., [1956] 1963). This mapped the world from the perspective of a triumphant, if also troubled, libertarian free press theory. Hallin and Mancini (2004) sought to reverse the polarity, privileging empirical over normative, although plenty of normative values structure their interpretation of media independence throughout (Hardy, 2008a). Now, a new book takes us back to the comparative-normative. Broadcasting, Voice, and Accountability seeks to map out a public interest approach to ‘fostering free, independent and pluralistic broadcast media’, to provide a ‘tool for media reform particularly in developing and transitional democracies’ (p. 2).
