Reviews

"For far too long, media studies has been dominated by people who could only research and write in English. The result has been effortless extrapolations from very specific realities (the US and the UK) to explain the entire, rich (and poor) world of the media. That is no longer sustainable, as Daya Thussu and his contributors show us in this dynamic and profound book. A way forward for all."

Toby Miller, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of California, Riverside, USA

"Globalization poses dramatic new challenges for media studies, challenges that most scholars have failed to take up. This impressive collection of essays ranges across disciplines, methodologies, and geographical contexts to suggest important new directions for research and pedagogy in the field of media studies."

Michael Curtin, Mellichamp Professor of Global Media Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

"This is a timely and pertinent reflection on media going global by leading scholars in the field, probing and critical."

Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Mellichamp Professor of Global Studies and Sociology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
