Kurzbeschreibung Media Studies is a comprehensive text for the growing field of media studies. This new book provides a critical apparatus for "reading" the media students take for granted: clarifying the form and structure, history, production, reception, and the ways the media relate to one another and the audience that attends to them. Written in a clear, compelling style based upon examples and informed by critical analysis, Media Studies will allow students to move within the media they know while increasing comprehension.
