Converging Media by John V Pavlik

Converging Media by John V Pavlik

From reading news on tablets to video calling on smartphones, digital media has changed the ways in which we communicate. Placing convergence at the center of the discussion, Converging Media: A New Introduction to Mass Communication, Fifth Edition, uses the technologies we employ every day to explain our current media environment-and to consider where we might be headed.

Converging Media takes the disruptive changes occurring across the media landscape and incorporates them into an understandable and navigable text while offering students many relevant examples, both historical and contemporaryAndrew Nelson, Loyola University New Orleans A clear and comprehensive textbook that merges historical detail with contemporary debates in the field. Emphasiz[es] the legal and ethical questions involved in the media industries today. - Andrea McDonnell, Emmanuel College, Boston I love the book. It covers every single basic feature in Mass Communications that is relevant to students in our field. - David Magolis, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania "Rather than incorporate new media as an afterthought or a specific chapter, Pavlik and McIntosh make it the center of the text. This is not at the expense of explorations of more traditional media like radio and television; rather they highlight how new media has transformed and continues to challenge the so-called 'old media' industries.
