Dr. Issa Abdul Baqi's insightful 2015 book, 'Media and Democratic Transformation,' provides a comprehensive analysis of the critical role media plays in shaping political change. The study delves into how traditional and new media platforms influence public opinion, facilitate political discourse, and hold authorities accountable during periods of democratic transition. It examines the complex dynamics between state control, media freedom, and the rise of citizen journalism, presenting case studies that highlight both the potential and the pitfalls of media's power in fostering a democratic culture. This work is essential for understanding the modern interplay between information and governance.
