Description
New to this edition: • Examples are now integrated within each chapter around politics and the public sphere, as popular culture and politics become more regularly intertwined. • An increased focus on conceptualizing 'mass' media and communication and media theory in an age of big data, such as algorithmic culture, AI, platform economies, streaming, and mass self-communication.
• Further discussion of what we want and expect of media and society in all chapters.
• New and revised material, including a new chapter "A Canon of Media Effects", bringing together Social-Cultural Effects & News, Public Opinion and Political Communication, helping the reader to rethink and reframe the whole idea of media effects and influence.
A vitally important for all students of Media and Mass Communication in the 21st century.
