DESCRIPTION:
This is where Media and Culture steps in. The eighth edition pulls back the curtain and shows students how the media really works, giving students the deeper insight and context they need to become informed media critics.. While students are familiar with and may be using the latest products and newest formats, they may not understand how the media has evolved to this point or what all these changes mean. It's no secret today's media landscape is evolving at a fast and furious pace — and students are experiencing these developments firsthand
Arrived New As Advertised, Very educational for my course What can I say, this book was required for an online course. I have enjoyed learning new things about media history in the U.S. and applying them in my course. I would recommend this book if someone finds their course requires it I would expect they shall learn a few things and find it enjoyable as I have. New condition when it arrived. I'm usuall. JJ said Required for a class.. This book was required for a class on the social aspects of the Media and how it impacts our daily lives. As a textbook I found it very unhelpful and lacking. There are no key-words in the book. I found the information very broad and helpful. I however did not find the authors use of dated, dry satire humorous. A decent read, with some outdated in. "Bad book!!" according to Jay. The chapters are mind-bogglingly long, and are so crammed packed full of information that by the end of it you've forgotten the first half of the chapter. Even taking notes while reading doesn't help because the matching set of questions, published by the book, don't work well with the chapters at all!! Horrible text book.
