About the Book

The Watson and Hill dictionary in its 8th edition presents a fresh and comprehensive overview serving all aspect of the study of media and communication. It provides a detailed compendium of the different facets of personal, group, mass media and Internet communication and continues to be a vital source of information for all those interested in how communication affects our lives. The Dictionary of Media and Communication Studies has provided students and the general public alike with a gateway into the study of intercultural communication, public relations and marketing communications since 1984. New entries in this edition explore the profound shifts that have taken place in the world of communication in recent years. The impact of the new online leviathans such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube is measured against the traditional dominance, globally, of the mass media. Other themes include the interesting changes affecting public service broadcasting, the role of advertising and PR, the nature and extent of regulation, the impact of globalisation and the consumerisation of knowledge and culture. This volume seeks to make its twenty-first century readers more media literate, as well as more critical consumers of modern news.

Review :
Watson and Hill's Dictionary is an indispensable first port of call for students of media and communications. -- Adrian Quinn University of Leeds, UK Almost nothing has been omitted. The definitions offered are sensible and where necessary the Dictionary makes reference to key thinkers and their important works. It is written in an accessible style and the definitions invite readers to read further rather than simply offering a definitive summary of the term. -- Marc Brennan University of Sydney, Australia The Dictionary of Media and Communication Studies is a brilliantly crafted source of key information in the field and has the depth and range to support a wide range of studies. It equips readers with up-to-date, well-researched expert knowledge of the area, and I would recommend it as an essential text for any higher course of study in the field as well as a desk resource for researchers. -- Kate O'Riordan University of Sussex, UK
