Product Description
Product Description
This practical, highly accessible volume is designed to introduce students and general readers to the field of media studies, inviting readers to be active participants in the process of understanding the importance of media today. Questioning the Media is an introductory text with a difference - no previous book has provided so wide a sweep of coverage on critical approaches to communication and the media from top international and interdisciplinary authors. They present diverse critical perspectives on media communication including political economy, cultural studies, Frankfurt School critical theory, feminism, audience ethnography and cultural dependency. Topics discussed include: freedom of information in a censorship age; managerial control mechanisms within media institutions; Soviet media before and after glasnost; commercial surveillance of audiences; information technology in the developed and under-developed worlds; media representations of gender and race; sports coverage; and film as art, as industry and as language.

Ce commentaire est de: Questioning the Media: A Critical Introduction (Paperback)
This book is in excellent shape and arrived in the condition as promised! Questioning the media is a very dense yet fascinating and addictive read that helps us understand today's modern media and how it functions. The book was written in the mid 90's, so some media references may be a little dated. Overall, this is the best book you can possibly have if you are a media studies enthusiast.

Ce commentaire est de: Questioning the Media: A Critical Introduction (Paperback)
this book has tons of critical analysis of media whose theories are still relevant, though the only drawback to this particular version of the book is that most of the "current" examples are from the 1970s/80s. still a great book though. plus its fun to make up your own examples..
