  • Builds on and extends Pierre Bourdieu's impassioned critique of our media-saturated culture.
  • Presenting for the first time in English the work of influential scholars who worked with or were influenced by Bourdieu, this volume is the one and only book for Anglophone scholars seeking a more detailed elaboration of field theory in relation to the mass media.
  • Includes case studies of such diverse phenomena as media coverage of the AIDS-contaminated blood scandal in France, U.S. youth media activism, and political interview shows on both sides of the Atlantic.
  • The book includes a hitherto unpublished text by Pierre Bourdieu on 'Fields of Journalism, Social Science and Politics' and contributions from Rodney Benson, Patrick Champagne, Eric Darras, Julien Duval, Daniel Hallin, Eric Klinenberg, Dominique Marchetti, Erik Neveu, and Michael Schudson.
  • Will be an invaluable textbook for all students and scholars of media and cultural studies, communication studies, sociology or journalism.
