• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

available to all. The text considers the key concepts of political media theory. The main cast are all here: Gramsci, Bourdieu, Habermas, Baudrillard etc as well as the new activism groups - CPBF, Media Alliance, FAIR. Freedom of speech and the importance of freedom of the media is more at debate now than ever before with the issuance of special journalism visas for British journalists to enter the USA and the whole BBC sexing up Iraq debacle, so the book will be quite topical if the authors deliver on time.

Two renowned authors in the field take an innovative approach and present this unique and timely book which examines the democratization of the media, and the activism directed towards challenging and changing media content, practices and structures
