This book provides an overview of the current state of minority-language media, from policy formulation to practice, in various contexts around the world. In the same line, it presents the main challenges and new opportunities in view of digitalization and the influence of new media, providing a complete and useful perspective on the topic. The authors seek to broaden discussion and share knowledge on language equality, language diversity, regulatory framework, digitalization, academic work, public broadcasting, kin state, and sustainable communication from a minority-language media perspective. This volume answers some of the most relevant current questions within the field of study, and it will be of use to university lectures, students, policymakers, research centers, public and private observatories, advisory committees, business professionals, media practitioners, journalists and media managers.
