Présentation de l'éditeur

More than Meets the Eye is an essential text for the study of media. It introduces all the key concepts and debates which today's students need to know, illuminating them with examples from across the different media. Taking account of the revised media syllabuses, this new edition incorporates the latest research on representation, on 'identity' and 'difference' and on news and ideology. It also explores the latest advances in digital TV, showing how these have affected our view of the media. Examples cover new media and film as well as TV, radio, advertising and the press.

Study aids include: activities taking account of coursework requirements in the A level syllabus; useful quotations; key questions, to check understanding of sections and to act as potential essay titles; the use of shorter, more manageable sections and summary statements to aid revision; reading lists and lists of resources for media students, with commentary.

Revue de presse

crammed with information ... an ideal textbook for FE courses in the media and communication studies (The Lecturer)

...manages throughout to strike the right balance between 'hard' ideas and classroom work. A feature of the author's approach is the use of spider diagrams showing how concepts and ideas interconnect. These are immensely helpful to the learner and provide accessible overviews in such a reassuringly large and detailed book. (The Times Higher)

...makes for an engaging read... (Mediaed.org 2003-02-03)
