Media and Society by Nicholas Carah

Media and Society by Nicholas Carah

A cutting-edge, student focused introduction to the broad field of media, culture and society. Louw and Carah critically explore the emergence of interactive, social and mobile media, alongside established questions of production, content and participation.

This is the media and society text that critical scholars have been waiting for: a clear-eyed, critical, and engagingly written overview of the contemporary culture industry that traces the connections between meaning-making and power that bridge media new and old, analogue and digital, systematically shaping our increasingly pervasive and invasive media environment

-- Mark Andrejevic
