Abstract

Established media accountability practices and widely accepted professional ethics can be understood as a favourable condition for deliberative communication: When deliberation asks for valuing the better argument in a public discourse, not least as an alternative to solving disputes by means of power, media accountability offers a similar approach to regulate media conduct and content. The chapter offers an overview over this projects' theoretical and methodological approach to analysing media accountability in the project countries before detailing comparative findings. The analysis shows that countries can be grouped by their dominant media accountability frame: Different agents of media accountability, and the media accountability instruments they create and influence, prove to be central to individual countries' media accountability landscape.
