Reading Media Theory: Thinkers, Approaches and Contexts

By Brett Mills and David M. Barlow

This groundbreaking volume - part reader, part textbook - helps students to engage thoroughly with some of the major voices that have come to define the landscape of theory in media studies, from the public sphere to postmodernism, from mass communication theory to media effects, from production to reception and beyond. But much more than this, by providing assistance and questions directly alongside the readings, it crucially helps students develop the skills necessary to become a critical, informed and analytical reader.
