(IN)ABILITY OF CLASSICAL LIBERAL THEORY TO COPE WITH NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Erma Ivoš ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zadar, Croatia

Abstract

The current trends in media industry (in the text referred to as concentration trend, diversification, globalization, and deregulation) bring up the question of the scope of classical liberal theory when faced with the challenges of new communication technologies. The convergence of the market and the capital, the interests from the point of view of ownership and the commercialisation of mass media make up the contextual framework of the debate about certain limitations of the principles of classical liberal theory concerning freedom of the press and media in general.
