Media in the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia: an evaluation of the media landscape of F.Y.R.O.Macedonia before and after the collapse of socialism.

Abstract

The landscape of media in F.Y.R.O.Macedonia is the main issue that it is evaluated in this paper. By presenting the media landscape in the country, while it was still part of the Former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, and even after its independence that was gained in 1991; we are able to derive interesting elements towards state’s internal corpus. This paper firstly presents the means of massive information that are established in the country, from the period of socialism. In these chapters information towards media landscape are also presented for the overall territory of Yugoslavia, since F.Y.R.O.Macedonia was not an independent state by then. It continues with the analysis of the Legal and Political Framework which exist in the state, by presenting the development of the media legislation process. This chapter offers information until the first half of 2014. The paper finishes with the chapter that is consisted from the conclusions which the writer faces as the outcomes of the evaluation of the subject. At that point the reader easily estimates, at a degree, new eras of discussion that come out as new hypothesis able to contribute the incentive for future surveys.
