Abstract

The Latvian experience in the past decade shows the impact of economic and
political change on the media sector. While the market economy brought opportunity
and free enterprise, it also brought the impact of economic disasters on the media.
Political changes enabled the abolishment of censorship and state control, but the
transition brought new pressures from other types of powers. The future of media development
must include the new media, and new people entering the media field, and
not only journalists but trained professional business managers as well.
