As such, it constitutes the first interdisciplinary academic framework comparing structures of media accountability across all continents and represents an invaluable basis for further research and policy-making. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of media studies and journalism, mass communication, sociology and political science, as well as policy-makers and practitioners."

t of accountability, which, undoubtedly, is the strong anchor for good media practice. This chapter examines the field of media accountability (MA) in the country, focusing on the structures that define accountability among media practitioners in addition to taking a look at emerging innovative practices that encourage MA. The authors argue that MA exists in Nigeria but is in a continuous struggle with such militating factors as ownership, insufficient press freedom, poor or inadequate remuneration for journalists, a hostile working environment for journalists, lack of formal education/training on the part of some journalists, weak self-regulatory mechanisms, and biases in political and cultural environments. These factors tend to limit the extent to which media practitioners can be committed to accountability." (Abstract)

"A crowdfunding platform for movies is an alternative way of refunding movie production costs. Usually, such platform combines several types of funding, including sourcing the Internet community to gather small private donations, that is, a revenue stream which is typically named “crowdfunding”.
...
In this chapter, we apply the framework of business model analysis to review this crowdfunding mechanism. We describe the business model characteristics of several industry cases. Next, we decide whether such a crowdfunding platform can sustain itself and whether it is able to collect sufficient funds for the production of movies. We argue that the platform could obtain enough funds from the general public for smaller-budget productions such as short films or documentaries. A movie crowdfunding platform could also collect enough income from advertising to make itself sustainable. Charging a premium membership fee to movie producers would yield negligible revenues and is hence not advisable. Further, we find that the platform will never amass the needed production budget in a small market, especially for the production of long feature films. However, a crowdfunding platform could be more valuable when combined with other means of financing smaller movie formats and could perform a marketing purpose alongside its central crowdfunding role."

ie zwischen Medienmanagementstrategien und Medienorganisationen in ländervergleichender Perspektive im Vordergrund. Analysen zu grenzüberschreitenden Medienmärkten und Medienprodukten mangelt es ebenso wie solchen zu medienunternehmerischen Strategien und Transaktionen an theoretischer Fundierung. Dieser Beitrag verfolgt daher das Ziel, ein Modell rekursiver Beziehungen zwischen Marktstrukturen und Managementstrategien vorzustellen. Im Verlauf der Darstellung werden die verschiedenen Ebenen grenzüberschreitender Medienkommunikation in medienökonomischer Perspektive anhand einer Aufarbeitung des Forschungsstandes begrifflich schärfer gefasst. Dazu gehören die drei zentralen ökonomischen Entitäten grenzüberschreitender Medienkommunikation: Märkte, Unternehmen und Produkte. Dies betrifft auch Unterscheidungen von Beschaffungs-, Publikums- und Werbemärkten und diejenigen von Information, Unterhaltung und Werbung, da sowohl Märkte wie Produkte unterschiedliche strukturelle Prämissen bei Grenzüberschreitungen bilden. Auf dieser Grundlage wird ein Medienmarkt- / Medienunternehmensmodell vorgestellt, mit dem rekursive Beziehungen zwischen Märkten und Unternehmen erfasst werden können. In Verbindung mit Ressourcentheorien und den Strukturmodalitäten grenzüberschreitender Medienaktivitäten entsteht ein Modell, mit dem die abschließend diskutierten Prozessdimensionen grenzüberschreitender Aktivitäten untersucht werden können."

ts into the innovative potential of media accountability in the digital age. Looked at from a comparative point of view, the reports hint at the formation of different cultures of media accountability within Europe and its adjacent countries. These media accountability cultures partly overlap with the journalism cultures identified in the well-known model by Hallin & Mancini who differentiate between North Atlantic or Liberal, Mediterranean or Polarised Pluralist, and Northern European or Democratic Corporatist media systems. At the same time, the development of media accountability and transparency shows distinctive features incongruent with established models of journalism cultures." (Back cover)
