International Communication: Continuity and Change

by Daya Kishan Thussu

The third edition of International Communication examines the profound changes that have taken place, and are continuing to take place at an astonishing speed, in international media and communication.

Building on the success of previous editions, this book maps out the expansion of media and telecommunications corporations within the macro-economic context of liberalisation, deregulation and privitisation. It then goes on to explore the impact of such growth on audiences in different cultural contexts and from regional, national and international perspectives. Each chapter contains engaging case studies which exemplify the main concepts and arguments.

Thussu is one of the leading scholars of international communication, so it was interesting to read his thoughts on the media's role in regards to such issues as globalization and contraflow. The case studies were also helpful and informative.

ترجمه اين كناب به فارسي توسط دكتر محمد مهدي وحيدي انجام شده كه نسبتا قابل قبوله و كتاب از نشر مركز قابل تهيه است.
اما در مودر محتواي كتاب ، به نظر بهترين منبع حال حاظر ارتباطات بين الملل هست ولي بازم به اندازه كافي بروز نيست

Had to read this book for a 4th year Univeristy Communication Studies class. There is lots of info in this book, but it is written in a way that is easy to understand

I used this in my Global Communication class and thought it worked quite well for students, particularly as this was my first time teaching the course and I relied heavily on the text.
