This book is an essential text for the successful study of media studies. It introduces all the key concepts and debates which students need to know, showing how to relate them to factual information and to examples from the media. This new edition has been extensively rewritten and incorporates the latest research on representation, exploring core topics such as "identity" and "difference."
It is one of my favourite books for Media Ethics, Communication Sciences and Visual Analysing courses, I strongly recommend as a must book on the shelves of communication academics.
