I am working on a study that looks at government-media relationship and how it affects professional media content especially in developing countries and I am hoping that I can get specific and standard measures for the concept and the different dimensions.
Dear Pechulano
I have published two journal articles on the above subject in relation to a developing country (Nigeria) that may be of help to you. In the first pdf file attached, the paper is the last paper in the document.
Find in attachment. I hope this helps.
Best,
Chikezie
Dear Pechulano
I am not too sure about "standard measure". The relation media-state is very much a contextualised experience. Comparing, for example, US and UK the mindset is very different. The notion of public service broadcasting as found in Europe has no similarity in the US. Therefore different cultural experiences make different assumptions about the role of media. You might want to check Hallin & Mancini (2011) Comparing media systems beyond the Western World which is itself a development of their 2004 publication. Wish you well on your project.
Dear Pechulano Ngwe Ali,
An interesting research problem. Indeed, in some countries it happens that media presenting specific information according to the government's guidelines may be biased to create the content presented in the media and propaganda in this way. A small problem is when the media under control are in a minority in relation to commercial, non-public and private media. A big problem with the issue of the objectivity of content presented in the media may arise when the government of a given country controls clearly the majority of the media.
Best wishes
