Media Theory for A Level by Mark Dixon

Media Theory for A Level is an essential revision guide for students, comprehensively outlining and explaining the core theoretical concepts of nineteen key media theorists. Adopting a theory first approach, the book covers all exam board specifications, providing invaluable support for students aiming for top marks.

"This is a truly insightful book which addresses important changes in today’s media landscapeIt engages the reader through clear exposition, compelling examples and a lively invitation to engage in urgent debates."

Professor Sonia Livingstone, Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science

"The book media teachers have been waiting for. As well as accessible explanations of the theories that never patronise or over-simplify, Mark Dixon provides a series of questions that encourage a critical approach to applying the set theories to a range of media products. The book makes links and draws comparisons between overlapping theorists, provides useful explanations of key theoretical terms and even interviews some of the key thinkers to get a more detailed and updated explanation of how their ideas apply to the current media landscape.

Dixon not only gives a concise summary of each of the set theories but also attempts to root them in the sociological, technological or cultural studies traditions from which they were inspired. This is essential reading for all media teachers and I’m already using it with the teacher trainees I work with."
