Information Society and Media Development in Modern Mongolia

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Undrah Baasanjav

The book provides an account of Mongolian information society from the perspective of critical media studies. Mongolians once saddled their horses to take advantage of mobility, speed, and spatiality, as they now do with the Internet and social media. They enjoy online cultural expressions, civil liberty, and private property rights guaranteed in the Constitution of 1992 using the Internet and social media platforms. The converged media sphere in modern Mongolia mirrors and shapes political communication, economic outlook, institutional norms, and Mongolian identity. The arguments in the book juxtapose the information society tenets and structural constraints like the small market, communist past, and mining-dependent economy when placing Mongolia on the global information society map. Informational acceleration paradoxically also brings as decline in trust in the media, which is increasingly instrumentalized by the elite. See more
