Mass media and society

This book succeeds "Mass Communication and Society". Written by a group of international scholars, this new volume reviews the many and far-reaching developments that have since taken place in mass communication research. Its three sections provide: an account of the role of the media in contemporary society, using liberal, postmodernism, feminist and neo-marxist perspectives; alternative views of the formative influences shaping the media, plus analyses of recent changes in the media industries and an exploration of the role of the media in the social production of meaning.

Mass Media and Society is an established title, popular worldwide for its insightful and accessible essays from leading international academics on the most pertinent issues in the media field today.The book is organized into three key areas of debate: media and society, media production and mediations. Each new edition of the book has sought to be a textbook that encompasses the field, including essays on political communication, media and feminism, media political economy, sociology of media organizations, media representations, media influence, Internet studies and more. New to this edition is an emphasis on film studies, an increasingly important area of media studies. What is judged to be the staple elements of the field has evolved over time, as well as becoming more international in orientation. Yet the overriding aim of the book - to be useful to students - has remained constant. This text is an essential resource for all media, communication and film studies students who want to broaden their knowledge and understanding of how the media operates and affects society across the globe. 'An original contribution to media studies. Beautifully organized, well written and incisive.' - Professor James Carey, Colombia University, USA 'Still the best collection of current thinking in the field.' - Professor Elihu Katz, Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

Power Without Responsibility: The Press and Broadcasting in Britain

Seaton, Jean

Routledge

The fourth edition of this classic text has been extensively rewritten to take account of developments in the British media since publication of the third edition in 1988. The book analyses the way in which broadcasting has been shaped by recent government legislation and discusses the rise of satellite television. Looking to possible futures for the media in Britain, it shows that both left and right are split - in rather similar ways - over how to reform the media

Power without responsibility: The press and broadcasting in Britain

Media and Power addresses three key questions about the relationship between media and society. *How much power do the media have? *Who really controls the media? *What is the relationship between media and power in society? In this major new book, James Curran reviews the different answers which have been given, before advancing original interpretations in a series of ground-breaking essays. This book also provides a guided tour of the major debates in media studies. What part did the media play in the making of modern society? How did 'new media' change society in the past? Will radical media research recover from its mid-life crisis? Is public service television the dying product of the nation in an age of globalization? Media and Power provides both a clear introduction to media research and an innovative analysis of media power.
