Understanding the Media by Eoin Devereux
Emphasis on the concept of globalisation in understanding the modern media. This book introduces theoretical issues in media analysis and encourages students to use case studies to examine their own personal media use and exposure. It applies a model of media analysis that gives equal weight to the production, content and reception of media texts.
′A valuable introductory text..Early media scholar James D. Halloran draws our attention to the importance of asking the ′right questions′ (1998: para.12). This book will help students of media learn this art as they come across televeision programmes, films, newspapers and on-line content that they consume on a daily basis. This is one for students to own rather than borrow′ -
