Over the past fifteen years Mass Media and Society has established itself as a leading international textbook on the media. Written by distinguished academics from around the world, the book provides an invaluable guided tour through three key areas of debate: - theories of media and society - the study of media organisations - debates about culture, ideology and democracy. The fourth edition has been fully updated and contains 13 new chapters on key topics, ranging from post-feminism to war journalism as entertainment. Above all, it offers a number of alternative views on the changing role of the media in the era of globalisation, new communication technology, the war on terror, the advance of women and increasing economic inequality. Mass Media and Society continues to be an essential resource for academics and students of the media.

This book was very difficult to understand especially with words that were jargon to the general population such as myself. You really have to read each sentence quite a few times to make even a little bit of sense of it, and even then, it is still usually confusing. It would have been a better book if it was aimed more towards someone who has little or no knowledge of mass media or to include a background section or a glossary of complex terms.

good for the right course
I've been reading this book to use as a text for an upper-level mass communications course that I will be teaching for our university's program in England this fall. It's perfect for that course, which is titled, like the book, Mass Media and Society. I searched diligently to find a text that was as current as possible and published outside the U.S., and I'm glad I found this one. It's very readable for a text and interesting, yet appropriately challenging for the students. I recommend it highly.
