Summary
Stuart Price: Media Studies
The book Media Studies is a comprehensive guide through all the necessary elements of mass communications. The author offers a wide range of case analyses, history and more important theoretical references. Advertising, television, film, news photography, the music industry and other media forms serve as material for examining the relevance of theoretical approaches: from content analysis and semiology, to more recent ideas about discourse and address. Already the first edition of the book Studying Media, rich in illustrations, concrete examples, and practical exercises, has become a standard manual in higher and higher education, as it provides students with incentives for research and development of analytical skills. The new edition is supplemented with chapters on radio, deregulation, discussion of violence in the media and media coverage of elections.
