Hallin and Mancini revisited: Four empirical types of western media systems

Brüggemann, Michael; Engesser, Sven; Büchel, Florin; Humprecht, Edda; Castro Herrero, Laia (2014). Hallin and Mancini revisited: Four empirical types of western media systems. Journal of Communication, 64(6):1037-1065.

Abstract

The analysis of media systems has become a cornerstone in the field of comparative communication research. Ten years after its publication, we revisit the landmark study in the field, Hallin and Mancini's “Comparing Media Systems”, and operationalize its framework for standardized measurement. The study at hand is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to comprehensively validate the original dimensions and models using aggregated data from the same sample of Western countries. Three out of four dimensions of media systems show relatively high levels of internal consistency, but “role of the state” should be disaggregated into 3 subdimensions. A cluster analysis reveals 4 empirical types of media systems that differentiate and extend the original typology.
