Media/Impact: An Introduction to Mass Media by Shirley Biagi (California State University, Sacramento)

Students may take it as a required course for the communication major or as a general education elective.

Media/Impact Reviews

"I found Biagi's MEDIA/IMPACT to be an exceptionally current and well organized text for my Media and Society course. The chapters flow well, with plenty of opportunities for students to self-direct their path through the material. In some ways, the book resembles a web experience for students, yet still printed two-dimensionally on paper. Well done. I'm strongly considering changing to this text for my class."
"Excellent book, very well written and easily accessible to the college freshman. I really like the chapter review section at the end of each chapter. It's an excellent tool for students to quickly review for chapter quizzes."
"Shirley Biagi has done an extraordinary job in a limited number of pages for a course that is overwhelming in its breadth. I have great respect for her research and for her teaching. It is her ability as a teacher that makes her a natural writer of textbooks."
"Generally, I am pleased with the text, which has been my text of choice for more than a decade because it engages my students in a comprehensive and intriguing exploration of the media landscape and all of its economic, legal, ethical, political, and social complexities."
