About the Book

Communication studies has never been recognized fully by universities as an academic discipline, but fascinating scholarship continues unabated from people working in the field-with sometimes trenchant results. Defining Media Studies is a collection of essays culled from two special issues of the Journal of Communication, the leading journal in the field, and represents a collective reconnaissance of what is currently happening in this vigorous and vibrant new area.

Review :
"The most significant forecast (among many) of Mass Communication studies."--Alan Fried, University of South Carolina "An outstanding addition to the field of media studies. Long needed. Fulfills an existing need. Readable and valuable for student and teacher."--Olin Briogs, Central Missouri State University "A wide-ranging but solid new approach reflecting who we are, how we got here, and where we are going in communication."--Robert Mendenhall, Southwestern Adventist College "An excellent introduction to all the modern and postmodern issues surrounding the conjunction of communication and culture. The postmodern concern over the reversibility of messages and codes is reviewed from many different perspectives. A must-buy for all communication researchers."--Richard Lanigan, President, Semiotic Society of America "Excellent collection. I am considering this as a text for a graduate theory course."--James Parker, University of Wisconsin-Superior
