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.
