Studying the Media

Description

Revised to address the needs of media students taking AS/A2 media studies specifications and as pre-course reading for undergraduates, this title now contains more material on media texts and representations, including genre and more on globalization, film and new media. The chapters on media research and investigation address the needs of students undertaking project work and provide a foundation framework to build on. The text also provides numerous creative exercises and activities, with suggestions and guidelines for further research and analysis.
