Media and Everyday Life offers an accessible overview for students
of media, communication and cultural studies looking to explore how
modern-day media practices impact on the experience of everyday
life, making this the essential companion to introductory media
studies courses. This innovative introduction to media studies
challenges conventional accounts of what media do to people -
focusing instead on what people do with media in the course of
everyday life. By rejecting the conventional media studies
approach, the book provides a fresh way of thinking about media
cultures and provokes thought into how media influences daily
social norms. Each chapter offers a broad discussion of various
facets of media, such as technology, social media and industries.
Key trends and traditions are also considered, helping to define
how media has become so entwined in the everyday experience. This
second edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate all the
recent developments in media including new social media platforms,
new technologies like wearables and smart speakers, and the spread
of algorithms into so much of the media we encounter every day. The
second edition also takes stock of the environmental impact of
digital media and its hidden infrastructures, as well our
engagement with social issues and movements from Black Lives Matter
to Extinction Rebellion.
