From TV to smartphone apps to movies to newspapers, mass media are
nearly omnipresent in contemporary life and act as a powerful
social institution. In this introduction to media sociology,
Lindner and Barnard encourage readers to think critically about the
power of big media companies, state-media relations, new
developments in journalism, representations of race, class, gender,
and sexuality in media, and what social media may or may not be
doing to our brains, among other topics. Each chapter explores
pressing questions about media by carefully excavating the results
of classic and contemporary social scientific studies. The authors
bring these findings to life with anecdotes and examples ripped
from headlines and social media newsfeeds. By synthesizing research
on new media and traditional media, entertainment media and news,
quantitative and qualitative studies, All Media Are Social offers a
succinct and accessibly-written analysis of both enduring patterns
and some of the newest developments in mass media. With strong
emphases on theory and methods, Lindner and Barnard provide
students and general readers alike with the tools to better
understand the ever-changing media landscape.
