"The press in transition" chronicles and evaluates the experiences of six press institutions in four markedly different media systems. The book adopts a comparative framing to explore press functioning worldwide, and to draw preliminary conclusions about the press in transition. At the heart of the study, however, is an up-close portrait of institutions and individuals. Adam Jones is a professor of International Studies at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of British Columbia." (Catalogue Deutsches Übersee Institut 2002)
