This collection of essays has its origins in the MeCCSA 2007
conference held in Coventry in January that year. Like most edited
volumes which emerge from conference contexts, this one comprises a
richly diverse set of original papers which span the various themes
and topics which together make up the fascinating field of media
and communication. The book is broadly divided into four sections:
media/public; media workers and professional identity; media
industries and policy concerns; and political communication. The
first section looks at the transformation of the private and public
spheres through new technologies, and the phenomenon and
implications of audience-mediated genres such as reality TV. The
second part of the book looks at media practice from the point of
view of both content and the self-policing of professional norms.
The third part considers media policy including gender issues
within the Scottish creative industries, and the history and future
of the BBC charter. The last section looks a political
communication and essays here are concerned with elite political
rhetoric, together with a consideration of the internet's impact on
political activism. The editors believe that, within the
wide-ranging subject matter our authors have considered, a common
theme emerges. This is the way in which contemporary communication
acts are structured by a number of closely related forces; capital,
technology, social norms, resistive practices and gendered
subjectivity all contribute to the production of public meaning.
