Description: Providing a framework for understanding the relationship between media and society, this book helps readers develop skills for critically evaluating both conventional wisdom and their own assumptions about the social role of the media. Retaining its acclaimed sociological framework, the Sixth Edition features additional discussions of new studies and up-to-date material about the rapidly changing media landscape. This edition significantly expands on discussions of digitization, mobile media, user-generated content, the social impact of new media on society, and new media's effect on traditional media outlets.
