No-nonsense Guide to Global Media by Peter Steven epub fb2 djvu

The power and influence of the mass media grow daily, crucially affecting the way all of us see and understand each other. Time Warner, Disney, and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. continue to gain ever-increasing cultural, economic, and political influence. But media activists and citizens groups around the world are challenging that power and creating new forms. This No-Nonsense Guide introduces readers to the key debates and offers a wide range of examples which present the rich diversity of international media forms and challenge the Western bias of most media studies.
