The Media Reader: Continuity and Transformation

Rating:
Summary: Helpful text for media students or enthusiastic generalists
Review: This text offers a comprehensive overview for students of the media or anyone interested in learning about media theory. I'm a masters student (in media) at the London School of Economics and have just read the book to prepare for my exams. Some of the reading is rather dense, but it is rewarding if you take the time. The essayists in the book are leading scholars in media studies. The essays on globalization,cultural imperialism, the public sphere and the Internet are particularly interesting.
