I am currently working on applying Hallin and Mancini models of media and politics to South Asia. Could you guide me to the existing body of work related to this topic?
Daniel C Hallin and Paolo Mancini's "Comparing Media Systems" came out basically to address the Western Media System ( Mediterranean or Polarised Pluralist, the North/Central European or Democratic Corporatist and the North Atlantic or Liberal Models.). Their study covers the media systems of the United States, Canada and parts of Europe. They acknowledged that the prescriptive models provided by Siebert, Peterson and Schramm through the "Four Theries of the Press" had become dated and not universally applicable.Hallin and Mancini were later to realize that their three models which they initially thought would subsume the media systems in the Western world were also found wanting.
So to apply the three models of Western media systems to South Asia would also be too assuming as the media systems are not similar. . An edited book by Hallin and Mancini "Compring Media Systems Beyond the Western World( Cambridge University Press, 2012) containing 12 articles would be a better book to make reference to but it has no specific article on the Indian media system.
William Rugh has several books and articles relating to the media systems in the Arab world.
You may like to refer to journals like the Journal of Communication, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly; Global Media and Communication for greater insights and applicability to the media systems in South Asia.
