Media and Power (Paperback)

Media and Power addresses three key questions about the relationship between the media and society.
* How much power do the media have?
* Who really controls the media?
* What is the relationship between media and power in society? In this major new book, James Curran reviews the different answers which have been given, before advancing original interpretations in a series of groundbreaking essays.
The book also provides a guided tour of the major debates in media studies. What part did the media play in the making of modern society? How did 'new media' change society in the past? Is public service television the dying product of the nation in an age of globalization?
Written by one of the field's leading scholars, Media and Power provides both a clear introduction to media research and an innovative analysis of media power.
