Synopsis

The expanded second edition of this popular A level textbook, endorsed by the WJEC exam board, explores the concepts underpinning Media Studies and aims to develop students' analytical, research and production skills. As with the first edition, the book is structured in three main parts. The first, Approaching the Media, looks at the key concepts of Media Studies genre and narrative, representations and audiences through a variety of media, and includes an entirely new section on ethnicity. The second section Media Industries considers case studies from the sectors of television, computer games, films, magazines and advertising (all of which have been revised); as well as 3 brand new sections on the music industry, newspapers and radio. The third section Researching, Creating and Evaluating Your Own Media Products has been entirely rewritten and expanded from the first edition.
