Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It provides a thoughtful review of communication theories (both critical and effects tradition) starting with Shannon and Weaver to Internet studies. The book also provides a chapter in communication methods, media conglomerates, and regulations. Too much better and less biased than Media and Society of Crouteau and MediaMaking from Grossberg.
