Reviews
The books greatest strength is the sociological focus of mass media. Many texts of this ilk are structured to look at media from a historical perspective and silo each medium. This examines media as a confluence of all platforms., Up-to-date, understandable, good explanations of cultural trends, and authors who have familiarity with the issues confronting media today.
