Common Markets: Corporate Ambitions and Communication Trends in the UK and Europe

Graham Murdock and Peter Golding

Journal of Media Economics, 1999, vol. 12, issue 2, 117-132

Abstract: This article charts 2 parallel movements in the communications sectors of the United Kingdom and Europe: the ascendancy of marketization policies within both the European Union and its major member states and accelerating convergence of the computing, telecommunications, and audiovisual industries. The contradictory character of policy at the European level is examined against the background of assertive pressure from the corporate sector for liberalization of regulatory regimes. Using data primarily from the United Kingdom, the struggle for survival of the public communications sector and the consequential difficulties of communications and social exclusion faced by lower income consumers are examined.
