Editorial - Media and Communication in Europe: Babel Revisited (pp.269-272)Agnes Inge Schneeberger & Katharine Sarikakis
The special issue entitled “Media and Communication in Europe: Babel Revisited” is the outcome of a successful collaboration between the UACES Student Forum sponsored Specialist Study Group on Media and Communication in Europe (see http://ssg.x10hosting.com/ for more details) and the JCER | Journal of Contemporary European Research (http://www.jcer.net/ojs/index.php/jcer).
The origins for this special issue are to be found at the UACES Student Forum Conference in April 2007 at Nottingham University. The idea was put into practice with a first editorial meeting at the Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds in December 2007. A preparatory thematic workshop at the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol followed in April 2008.
The Special Issue was guest edited by JMECE Lab member Mrs. Agnes I. Schneeberger and Dr Katharine Sarikakis, both of the Institute of Communication Studies at the University of Leeds. Contributors include early career researchers and postgraduate members of the Specialist Study Group. A special guest article was written by Dr Michael Bruter of the London School of Economics.

Fortunately, the EU Parliament will shortly be strengthened. On the other hand, I think the appt of EU officials by state leaders does not contradict democratic principles because those leaders have been elected and repuplican democratic principles don’t function as well directly at a very large scale. If you are interested, here is a related post:
