Bøker av Robert G. Picard

Truly international in scope, it lays out the variety of political, social, economic, and institutional influences on policy, the roles of industries and policy advocates in the processes, and issues and factors that complicate effective policymaking and skew policy outcomes.

This book is the first to address the problem of economic concentration and monolopoly in the newspaper industry. Some of the chapters are written from an economic standpoint and deal with the factors that bring about this occurence with the resulting effect that economic conditions have on newspapers' content.
