Preferred term

media activists and communication policy processes  

Definition

  • Institutional policy arenas often provide “windows,” that is, temporary opportunities for activists to raise their concerns and influence the political environment. The way activists respond to such a window depends on their cultural backgrounds and ideological values, as well as on whether they perceive it as a potential gain or a threat.
