Description of  The News Media in Puerto Rico (Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies)

The News Media in Puerto Rico offers a synopsis as well as a critical analysis of the Islands news media system, with emphasis on the political and economic factors that most influence how the media operate. The authors also document the impact of Hurricane Maria on the media structures and the changing media landscape given the political, economic and colonial strictures. Building on interviews with news media professionals, the book further presents detailed insights about journalism and journalism education in these times of crises. The final chapters include theoretical frameworks and methodological guidelines for the analysis of other colonial, post-colonial and neo-colonial media systems, with research recommendations valuable for future studies of the Islands media as well as for cross-national comparisons.
