Rezensionen

Language and Media is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about media discourse. It provides a clear foundation in relevant theoretical concepts, balanced with plenty of engaging examples. In addition, the sections featuring extension activities and key readings make this an ideal course textbook.

Camilla Vasquez, University of South Florida

This book is a key volume for the new media age: updating, assessing, and expanding our understanding of media and the many ways language and communication dynamics operate across a changed and changing mediascape. The authors characterize native online media features such as memes, viral spreads, surveillance capacities, and resistance; as well as resituate longstanding elements of media research such as stories, participation frameworks, production dimensions, and representation. It is definitely the go-to resource for understanding the media now.
