  • The unique perspective of this book comes from its comparative approach. It deals with material from 5 different countries, whereas the competition focuses purely on either the UK or US.
  • Includes coverage of every main media industry, including the music and advertising industries, which have been neglected in other studies.
  • Has been written for lower level undergraduate courses, and no prior knowledge of media history is assumed.
  • Presents a convincing argument that the roots of the modern media, including their tendency towards globalization, lie in the late 18th and 19th Centuries.
