This volume contributes to diversity research within
communication studies taking into consideration the
representation and implementation of social and cultural
diversity in the public sphere, particularly in the mass
media. In the first part, concepts of diversity are outlined
with respect to a normative claim. In the second part, the
focus lies on particular political decision-making and
implementation of diversity measures in media regulation,
public diplomacy and science. The last part presents
analyses regarding the construction of diversity in
internationally traded TV programmes.
