Produktbeschreibung
Despite Marshall McLuhan's famous pronouncement that "the medium is the message", media critics have long focused on the content and form of verbal and nonverbal communication -- for the most part neglecting how messages are produced or formatted in the various media. Filling a significant void, this book shows how criticism changes when the medium of transmission is taken into account.

Highlighted throughout are ways that media criticism may serve as a basis for assessing, evaluating, and responding to the effects of communication technologies upon what we know and how we experience the world.
