Review :
Jack Lule offers a lucid, truly engaging, and carefully balanced overview of key issues and cutting-edge debates on globalization and media. With fascinating stories, colorful tidbits, and witty analysis, the author skillfully unpacks the media's central and conflicting role in the multifaceted processes of globalization. The writing is simply superb. Jack Lule's Globalization and Media has been the go-to basic text for all my International Communications students since I first taught the course. My students appreciate the accessible storytelling style of the book, a style that leads them to think critically about how media influences their lives and how they influence media. Another superb edition of this wondrous resource for a global audience of students and scholars. Lule’s writing, as always, is splendid—melodious, picturesque, and seamless. Reading this book was like having global vacations that unremittingly inspire deep learning and critical thinking about the role of media in globalization. This fourth edition is a welcome and timely update, with added voices reflecting the state of the media amid recent social and political events worldwide, including COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter.
