Product Description Widely used internationally and translated into several languages, Mass Communication Theory, Third Edition constitutes one of the fullest and most up-to-date textbooks within mass communication. Comprehensively rewritten, this edition provides a nontechnical introduction to mass communication and offers an integrated treatment of the major components of mass communication--the sender, the message, and the audience. The author thoroughly covers the diverse forms of mass communication: television, radio, newspaper, film, and music as well as electronic, cable, and satellite technologies. Topics given greater attention in this volume include gender relations, the globalization of communication, research on audiences and reception, media structures and institutions, and the evaluation of media performance. Updated and rewritten to include the most recent theory and research and to improve the clarity of both text and presentation, Mass Communication Theory, Third Edition is of even greater importance to researchers, scholars, and students within all areas of mass communication. | ||

A fine introduction to mass communication theory As a professor of communication, I use this book as a text in my introductory course. While it lacks a little bit in giving details of individual theories, its broad coverage of the field is excellent. This is a good book for someone who wants to know what "mass communication" is all about, but you will need to read additional books or articles to get a full understanding of particular theories. | ||
A great book to understand Communication studies An extense and complete review of over more than 60 years of Communication Studies is the result of an incredible job by Proffesor Denis McQuail, from the University of Amsterdam. Altough is not a chronological display of theories, is very easy to read. This third edition includes some of the more recent examples from the Cultural Studies, and that addition is thankful for everybody interested in the field this days. JUL. | ||
