Table of ContentsReviews'Drawing of a rich supply of literature and original thought, Vaca-Baqueiro explores how to overcome the dichotomy of liberalism vs authoritarianism, which was so important in Four Theories of the Press.' - Paolo Mancini, Professor of Communication Studies, University of Perugia 'A thoughtful reinterpretation of the literature on media systems in light of recent developments in the relationship between media and state in Mexico. Vaca-Baqueiro discusses the limitations of old categories and makes a persuasive call to rethink categories such as democratic and authoritarian that do not accurately capture essential aspects, tensions, and dynamics of contemporary media systems. As media systems continue to change, and their relations with states are in flux, it is necessary to reconsider the legacy of systems-thinking in international media studies and to embrace a flexible approach focused on institutional development and interaction. A strong contribution that deserves a wide audience.' - Silvio Waisbord, Professor in the School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University Author InformationMaira T. Vaca-Baqueiro is an associate professor at the Communications Department of Universidad Iberoamericana, in Mexico City, where she teaches courses on media and democracy, public opinion, political communication, and her real passion, research design and methods.
