After the Czars and Commissars: Journalism in Authoritarian Post-Soviet Central Asia
E. Freedman & R. Shafer (eds.)
From Czarism and Bolshevism to the current post-communist era, the media in Central Asia has been tightly constrained. Though the governments in the region assert that a free press is permitted to operate, research has shown this to be untrue.

This enlightening collection of essays investigates the reasons why these countries have failed to develop independent and sustainable press systems.Publisher's website for this book.
