Review :
"The media course is often intimidating for college students, yet The Media Handbook offers them an engaging and comprehensive glimpse into the world of media that is not overwhelming. I've used the book in my classes for years and will continue to do so. I am especially pleased with the Fourth Edition and the relevant addition of media content that goes 'beyond traditional.' Media is a dynamic field and The Media Handbook always offers a contemporary approach that is sure to impact students in the classroom as well as in their future careers." - Shannon L. Bichard, Texas Tech University "This is not your typical enormous, pricey textbook. The Media Handbook is the perfect companion to class materials for my audience and media contacts class. It provides the essential concepts for understanding the role of media in advertising and illustrates the steps in the planning process. Students particularly enjoy the conversational (or accessible?) writing style and illustrative examples. This is one book they choose to keep for their career rather than sell at the end of term." - Michelle Nelson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "The Media Handbook is an indispensable resource for anyone working in media research or advertising. Dr. Katz's book is both comprehensive and up-to-date. She combines the knowledge, sophistication, and attention to detail of an academic with the relevance and perspective of a working professional. If you own one book on media research, this should be it." - Michael Vinson, PhD., Rentrak Corporation "Katz's book is like a great navigation map through the changing media environment. Katz' insights and priciples provides with great values for both media students and professional media planners. I am still resorting to the book a lot!" - Chang-Hoan Cho, Yonsei University, University of Florida "...a useful guide for someone starting out as a media buyer or researcher....there is a lot to learn about the world of media, and this volume will be a valuable resource for acquiring such knowledge. Recommended." — CHOICE
