Refining Milestone Mass Communications Theories for the 21st Century (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Wei, Ran

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The 'Milestones' essays in Mass Communication and Society are reflective, analytical articles by notable scholars in the field. These classic essays address 21st century issues from the pioneers of media and communication studies, including Elihu Katz on new media and social movements, George Gerbner on cultivation analysis, and Dietram Scheufele on political communication. As technologies evolve and mass communication becomes mobilized and democratized - more individual and more social - these scholars provide ideas about how established theories may be applied in new ways, and how future research can expand our understanding of mass communication as its reach and effects grow ever larger.
