- 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- The book includes a hitherto unpublished text by Pierre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.
