Items related to Studying the Media: An Introduction
At the end of the twentieth century, it is statistically and culturally abnormal to live without a television set. This is the age of media saturation. The airwaves are becoming more crowded, cable and satellite increase their reach, and you are more likely to surf the net than the sea. The studying of media can equip you for this communications revolution, and 'Studying the Media' can give you the edge on the subject.
'Studying the Media' is widely recognised as the most accessible and stimulating introduction to media studies available. Now in full colour throughout, this new edition is thoroughly revised and completely up-to-date. Written from a contemporary media/cultural studies perspective, it covers the principal areas of all the A level syllabuses. New features include a chapter on media research and investigation, and a glossary of key terms. Giving students a foundation framework to build on, 'Studying the Media' also provides numerous creative exercises and activities, with suggestions for future reading and guidelines for further research and analysis.
