Towards a Civil Society: The Baltic Media’s Long Road to Freedom offers a powerful and detailed account of how the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—emerged from decades of Soviet control to establish free, independent media landscapes that support democratic development and civic participation.
Through historical analysis and media case studies, the book examines the challenges faced by journalists and press institutions in transitioning from propaganda machines to credible, independent voices. It highlights the critical role of media in nation-building, political reform, and the creation of civil societies that value transparency, accountability, and freedom of expression.
Ideal for readers interested in post-Soviet transitions, media freedom, Eastern European history, and democratic resilience, this book sheds light on the enduring struggle and progress of Baltic media as a pillar of liberty and social transformation.
