This volume brings together an international team of scholars who offer a survey of the field of mass media and society. This new edition reflects the changing nature of the field by including articles on the media and class, globalization, cultural identity, media influence, sport, tabloid feminism, race, media power, citizenship, feminism and the media, and comparative media perspectives. Each article is written to offer an overview of the topic and to enable students to make contact with thinking about today's central issues in media and communication studies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

'Mass Media and Society' is a leading international textbook, written by distinguished academics from around the world. It provides an invaluable guided tour through three key areas: theories of media and society; studies of media organisation; and studies of media, culture and ideology. Critical overviews are combined with original case studies.

To keep pace with a rapidly changing field, the majority of essays in this third edition are new. These include overviews of media and society from the perspectives of class, gender and ethnicity which plug media studies into new developments in the social sciences. This new edition also includes essays focusing on the rise of globalisation. This last unlocks a major debate running through the book, as to whether globalisation is challenging or confirming unequal power relations, extending or undermining structures of media ownership and control, transforming social identities and civic cultures or leaving national images and cultures surprisingly undisturbed. In addition, this book has a number of now classic essays by leading scholars which have been fully updated and revised.
