Media/Society: Industries, Images and Audiences (Paperback)by David R. Croteau William HoynesI bought this book earlier in the year for my dissertation research, it was a great help and i would recommend it to anyone working on related topics.
"
Media/Society: Industries, Images and Audiences, Third Edition
engages the reader with accessible analyses that are historically
grounded but draw upon current media debates such as regulation of the
Internet, concentration of media ownership, portrayals of gays in the
media, and the growth of global media. Media/Society an outstanding
text for courses in mass media and sociology."
the book is still in great condition.
