Theory. Evolution of normative traditions -- Characteristics of normative theory -- Democracy. The principles and practice of democracy -- Roles of news media in democracy -- Roles. The monitorial role -- The facilitative role -- The radical role -- The collaborative role -- Prospects -- Media roles under challenge.

Subject: In this book, five scholars of media and communication take on the task of explicating the role of journalism in democratic societies. Using Fred S. Siebert, Theodore Peterson, and Wilbur Schramm's classic Four Theories of the Press as their point of departure, the authors explore the philosophical underpinnings and the political realities that inform a normative approach to questions about the relationship between journalism and democracy, investigating not just what journalism is but what it ought to be. --From publisher's description.
