  The Holodomor - Stalin's Famine...

  The Holodomor, one of the most tragic events in Ukrainian history, refers to the man-made famine that devastated Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. The name "Holodomor" itself is derived from two Ukrainian words: "holod," meaning hunger, and "moryty," meaning extermination. This term emphasizes the belief that the famine was deliberately engineered by Joseph Stalin's Soviet government as part of a broader effort to suppress Ukrainian nationalism and enforce Soviet control. 
  The historical context of the Holodomor is deeply intertwined with the policies of Soviet Russia during the early 20th century. Under Stalin’s rule, the Soviet Union sought rapid industrialization and forced collectivization of agriculture, a process that involved the consolidation of individual farms into large collective ones. These policies were highly disruptive and led to widespread resistance, especially in Ukraine, where peasants valued their land and traditional agricultural practices. 
  In response to this resistance, Stalin imposed harsh measures on Ukraine, including the confiscation of grain, livestock, and other foodstuffs, which were sent to feed other parts of the Soviet Union. This created a devastating shortage of food in Ukraine, which was compounded by the harsh climate and poor harvests. Despite the widespread suffering and starvation, the Soviet government did little to alleviate the crisis and instead imposed strict controls on food distribution. In some cases, officials even enforced internal borders, preventing starving people from fleeing to neighboring regions in search of food.

  Does it matter who owns and funds the media? As journalists and management consultants set off in search of new business models, there's a pressing need to understand anew the economic underpinnings of journalism and its role in democratic societies. 
   
   
   
  How Media Ownership Matters provides a fresh approach to understanding news media power, moving beyond the typical emphasis on market concentration or media moguls. Through a comparative analysis of the US, Sweden, and France, as well as interviews of news executives and editors and an original collection of industry data, this book maps and analyzes four ownership models: market, private, civil society, and public. Highlighting the effects of organizational logics, funding, and target audiences on the content of news, the authors identify both the strengths and weaknesses various forms of ownership have in facilitating journalism that meets the democratic ideals of reasoned, critical, and inclusive public debate. Ultimately, How Media Ownership Matters provides a roadmap to understanding how variable forms of ownership are shaping the future of journalism and democracy.
