James Curran

Media and Power

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
