Forty selections on enduring intellectual value - classic articles, book excerpts, and research studies - that have shaped the study of mass media and our contemporary understanding of it. Included are carefully edited selections from the works of the most distinguished observers of the mass media, past and present, from Harold D. Lasswell, Hadley Cantril, and Neil Postman to Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Michael Eric Dyson, and Annette Kuhn. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was as advertised in great condition. I find it an easy read but not at the top of my list. The editing could be better but over all I was able to get the information needed.

Interesting.....
By Thriftbooks.com User, September 25, 2008
This is a book that I needed to my Mass Comm class this semester. But you know this book also presents some interesting ideas for just the curious reader. If you are just buying this book for casual reading, be warned. !::This book has difficult language and concepts from various authors that may be difficult to understand without the aide of a teacher::! But that may just be me.
