By combining classic studies of mass communication with contemporary research on media, technology, and culture, Key Readings in Media Today will help students to make sense of the rapidly changing media environment. The Reader is designed to supplement the 3rd edition of Media Today: An Introduction to Mass Communication, but it can also be used independently.
The articles gathered here include works by Gaye Tuchman, Joseph Turow, Henry Jenkins, and Robert McChesney, among others. Articles from the trade and mainstream presses have also been selected to provide an in-depth look at the changing nature of media production, distribution, and exhibition. Taken together, these articles will enable students to understand the role of media in the 21st century and the implications for society.
