About
The rapid developments in media technologies and the political turmoil on the world stage have together contributed to a serious reappraisal of the role and purpose of media and cultural studies. Coming at a crucial time in the development of the subject and recognising the significance of changing definitions and contexts, The Media in Question mounts a vigorous defence of media studies. Written by a leading figure in the world of media studies and media education, the book's accessible manner raises questions about the consequences of particular approaches to the study of a wide range of media. Individual chapters re-examine the established fields of popular television, ideology and postmodernism, before going on to consider what is 'new' in new technologies and the digital revolution. The Media in Question will provide a platform for critical investigation and intellectual development, as well as the basis for a stimulating way of learning and teaching that will challenge students, teachers and lecturers in media and cultural studies alike. -- from back cover.
