Keywords:
press, media, journalism, authoritarianism, propaganda, democratization, professionalismAbstract
While the role of the press and other media has been central to a wide variety of ideological frameworks and political prescriptions, from classical liberalism to state socialismo, ther has been little attempt to generate a "macro-theory" of press functioning that claims to be valid for press systems worldwide. An analytical framework can usefully isolate twoe key variables (a "mobilizing imperative" and a "professional imperative") that acto to shape the orientation and behavior of press institutions, ther sponsors, ands their esditorial staff. This scheme permits an analysis of the diverse strategies by which press workers seek to reconcile the mobilizing and professional imperatives and open up space for the latter.
