It covers seven key issues including \n\nthe mapping of the changing boundaries of press freedom, \nthe impact of media ownership change on editorial stance, \nthe development of national and hybrid identities, \nthe tension between self-censorship and media professionalism, \nthe rising importance of government public relations, \nthe power and limits of hegemonic discourse, and \nthe countervailing force posed by collective actions and pub.
