Dear AIR-lies and -lers, a couple of days ago I asked for your help in identifying online ressources focussing on international media systems (including media law, media politics, media use, etc.) from a comparative perspective. Two answers came up (see below) - thanks for that; if anyone has more to add, pleas share :-) Best, Jan
Ideally, it would be a database where one can select certain countries and/or certain indicators to get an selective overview, but hints on any other ressources (including books, encyclopedias, etc.) are appreciated. It could be something similar to the [German] "Internationales Handbuch Medien", which is edited by my colleagues at the Hans-Bredow-Institute and published as a book (http://www.hans-bredow-institut.de/de/internationales-handbuch-medien/intern...), but should be in english and online. Thanks a lot in advance, Jan
You may find ITU's statistics/data page helpful: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/statistics/
