  • As digital media come to saturate more and more of our societies, what benefits and challenges do they bring?
  • Who holds power in contemporary media industries, and do they have our best interests at heart?

Encompassing media technologies, industries, texts and users, and combining coverage of classic theories with extensive new material on platforms, social media, datafication and more, this book will equip you to navigate the fast-moving field of media and communication studies.Media, Culture and Society provides an essential overview for students studying introductory media modules, as well as depth for those further into their media degree.
