Milton (North Arizona U.) addresses issues he finds ignored or neglected both by scholars that assert that new and legitimate democratic institutions can overcome socialist legacies in eastern Europe, and by those who believe the social, political, and economic legacies are too entrenched to be budged. Concluding that greater independence and freedom in the news media is less likely that the persistence of dependence, he identifies contributing factors such as political actors' own interests, the willingness to settle for the appearance of reform, and the utility of the institutional relationships of media dependence.
