"Adorno and Horkheimer’s analysis of the cultural industry
remains an important model for understanding contemporary media
culture. Heinz Steinert provides an excellent presentation of
Adorno and Horkheimer’s perspectives on media culture and
useful instructions on how to read their text and the products of
culture industry, helping to enable his readers to become cultural
critics of contemporary culture and theoretical discourse."
--Douglas Kellner, University of California at Los Angeles

"Understanding "culture industry" is central to both critical
theory and contemporary public life. Heinz Steinert's account is
both the best introduction to the subject and an important update
for a new era. It should be read widely."
--Craig Calhoun, New York University
