The Second Edition of this bestselling text takes a unique approach to the study of mass communication and cultural studies by examining media as a whole - newspapers, books, magazines, radio, television, film - and its relationship with culture and society. Rather than viewing each major medium separately, authors Lawrence Grossberg, Ellen Wartella, D. Charles Whitney, and J. Macgregor Wise contend that mass communication cannot be studied apart from the other institutions in society and the other dimensions of social life - each is shaping and defining the other. MediaMaking: Mass Media in a Popular Culture explores the variety of ways in which the media are involved in our social lives, including the institutional, economic, social, cultural, and historical aspects.

Children Communicating: Media and Development of Thought, Speech, Understanding (SAGE Series in Communication Research)

A collection of essays on how children relate to each other, how they interact with the media, how their cognitive skills are affected by television, and how they understand television narrative.

It quite clearly demonstrates just how valuable to communication research the utilization of a developmental perspective can be.′ -- Journal of Communication, Spring 1980

Rethinking Communication: Volume 1: Paradigm Issues

Paradigm Issues demonstrates the notion that genuine dialogue between communication theorists of vastly different political, theoretical and epistemological perspectives helps to clarify issues of debate and give shape to the development of communication as a discipline. Thus each of the authors of the opening chapters of this volume -- who include Anthony Giddens and Stuart Hall -- articulate a view of the crucial issues communication must face and a position in relation to those issues. Thoughtful commentaries follow from 25 established scholars, representing the widest possible range of commitments, backgrounds, theoretical and political preferences.  The volume does not give concrete resolutions to predicaments in

Rethinking Communication: Paradigm Exemplars

This second volume of the two-volume set Rethinking Communication presents examples of the diversity of perspectives and theoretical problems that currently occupy the attention of the field. Each of the 30 chapters exemplify a particular paradigm or perspective by describing a body of work or a particular research project. Seeing the diversity of the field as a response to the realities of an increasingly pluralistic world, the editors hope this and the companion volume will help explain where the field is headed so scholars can seek answers to such questions as how to constitute a scholarly community in the face of existing pluralism, how to construct a coherent educational curriculum, and how to determine standards of evaluation.
