UTJECAJ PROCESA KONVERGENCIJE MEDIJA NA ANTIKORUPCIJSKE PRAKSE U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
THE INFLUENCE OF THE PROCESS OF MEDIA CONVERGENCE ON ANTI-CORRUPTION PRACTICES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: This paper considers the relations between the process of media convergence and efforts of communities to control corrupt practices. Relying on the conceptual framework of cultural convergence, the socio-cultural specificities that condition, increase or decrease the probability of the influence of the convergence process on the fight against corruption are examined, especially in terms of the development of new opportunities, means and practices. The paper summarizes the results of case studies with the aim of reviewing the similarities and differences of this dynamic in different cultural milieus. A special part of the paper refers to the review of shortcomings and potentially good anticorruption practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina that have been made possible, strengthened or encouraged by the processes of media convergence, respecting the specificities of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s historical and cultural context and state structure. The results of the case study analysis in the world and in Bosnia and Herzegovina point to several sub-segments of media convergence important for the fight against corruption: conceptual, hybrid, substantive, social-structural and convergence of media tools.
