Praise for the first edition:
‘This is easily the best study of twentieth-century media
I've seen. It combines historical with contemporary media studies
research to trace the origins and impact of all major media and
does so in well-written prose that will please teachers and inspire
students.’ Gary Cross, The Pennsylvania State
University
‘This important survey brings together the findings of
specialized research on media history in a number of countries and
analyses developments over the course of the twentieth century. The
historical sweep is monumental and the analytical grasp of the
authors on the profound technological changes that have shaped our
lives is impressive. I congratulate the authors for making a
significant contribution to the history of the twentieth century
and of the communications revolution.’ David Welch,
University of Kent at Canterbury
"Those looking for a quick but insightful survey will find this treatment hard to beat" Choice
