Читать книгу Media Freedom - Damian Tambini - Страница 6

This book was written during two research sabbaticals: at the Department of Political Science at the University of Perugia, and at Mansfield College, Oxford, and I would like to thank wonderful colleagues at both of those institutions. I am grateful to the following people for commenting on earlier drafts: Cecile Fabre, David Levy, Paolo Mancini, Martin Moore, Alan Rusbridger, Philip Schlesinger, Jean Seaton, David Souter, Mark Thompson and Hugh Tomlinson. I am grateful to Jun Yu for help preparing the manuscript and to Nick Couldry for advice on an earlier version. Peter Bergamin, Rachel Craufurd Smith, Jonathan Heawood, Sonia Livingstone, Kate O’Regan, Monroe Price and Jacob Rowbottom have all provided input and advice in the process of developing the ideas in this book. There have been numerous conversations along the way with my students, from whom I have learned a huge amount and whom it has, at the LSE and previously Oxford, been a great privilege to teach. I would particularly like to acknowledge the thoughtful contributions of Nikola Belakova, Sally Broughton Micova, Ruth Garland, Eva Marie Knoll, Eleonora Mazzoli, Rufus Taylor III and Maira Vaca Baqueiro. I am grateful to the journal Intermedia for permission to republish some updated and revised sections from an article published in 2018.
