Rezensionen

"We are long overdue for a sociological take on how mass media gets produced and consumed in the current digital age. All Media Are Social engages readers with compelling statistics and fascinating stories to highlight how power, culture, and technology shape media. I especially recommend the book's overview of how traditional media represents race, class, gender and sexuality alongside citizen-generated forms of media resistance and activism."

-Nancy Wang Yuen, Associate Professor of Sociology, Biola University

"It's been years since anyone has written a theoretically sophisticated text in the sociology of media. Bravo to Lindner and Barnard for filling the void. I particularly appreciated their discussions of news."

-Gaye Tuchman, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Connecticut
