“…The overlaps between these fields and the increasing movement of content and communication across platforms create challenges for delineating the fields and their issues (Braman 2004).

The contemporary state of media and communications policy studies is disparate and incohesive because of the varying research backgrounds of its scholars, imprecise use of terms and lack of linkages to broader policy research. This article argues that there is a need for more consideration of the mechanisms and tools and of the institutional processes and practices of policy-making. The article argues that policy-making needs to be seen as a public sphere in which debate and compromise takes place, rather than an arena from which only one contestant can emerge-an approach that reduces the possibilities for reasoned debate, conciliation and cooperation. The article argues that the lack of this approach leads to normative intransigence, policy drift and protectionism that actually reduce the ability to pursue democratic and culture values in media and communications policymaking.

“…Internet filtering as a government intervention, for example, is strongly advocated by right-leaning parties. As Sandra Braman (2004) has noted, "How a policy issue is identified is political because it determines who participates in decision-making, the rhetorical frames and operational definitions used, and the resources-and goalsconsidered pertinent" (p. 154).…”
