| Description | Given the long-term nature of the process, it is important to develop criteria by which to judge change in the media of particular Central and Eastern European countries. For example, the situation is often measured against the plans of the 1980s dissidents whose goal was the far-reaching democratization of social communication. Another set of criteria can be developed by checking whether the media systems of postcommunist countries, long frozen into the centralized command structure, are replicating the same processes that meanwhile have been unfolding in developed Western countries. One phrase comes to mind as a way of summing up the media situation in Central and Eastern Europe and that is "business as usual." The choice of this phrase may seem surprising. However, it reflects a number of realities quite accurately. Where change in the region has been slow, it is business as usual in the sense that—as in the old days—politicians treat the media as their fiefdom.
