International Communication: A Reader
In addition to the core academic readings, key policy documents are also included to demonstrate the development of the political, economic and technological infrastructure that underpins the global system of media and communication.Readings are drawn from an international range of scholars and organized to reflect the growing internationalization of the field, with clearly defined sections covering key aspects of global communication.
This comprehensive Reader brings together seminal texts in media and communication from both traditional as well as more recent scholarship."
Internationalizing Media Studies
"The explosion of transnational information flows, made possible by new technologies and institutional changes (economic, political and legal) has profoundly affected the study of global media. At the same time, the globalization of media combined with the globalization of higher education means that the research and teaching of the subject faces immediate and profound challenges, not only as the subject of inquiry but also as the means by which researchers and students undertake their studies.
Edited by a leading scholar of global communication, this collection of essays by internationally-acclaimed scholars from around the world aims to stimulate a debate about the imperatives for internationalizing media studies by broadening its remit, including innovative research methodologies, taking account of regional and national specificities and pedagogic necessities warranted by the changing profile of students and researchers and the unprecedented growth of media in the non-Western world."
"This comprehensive survey charts the recent developments of technology and geo-politics and the way they affect media and communications studies. It explores their significance for the established domains of institutions, texts and audiences, drawing on a rich and genuinely international range of case studies."
