The field of media and politics is quickly changing as society
transforms and new technologies develop continuously. Academic
research in the area is rapidly breaking new ground to keep pace
with the prolific media developments. This innovative, up-to-date
text moves beyond rudimentary concepts and definitions to consider
the exciting scholarly research that addresses the monumental
recent changes in the media system of the United States and the
world. This carefully crafted volume addresses the big questions
that academic researchers are asking, exposing students to the
rigorous scholarship in the field but making it readily
understandable by undergraduate students. Each chapter starts with
a "big question" about the impact of the news media, provides an
overview of the more general topic, and then answers that question
by appealing to the best, most-up-to-date research in the field.
The volume as a whole is held together by an exploration of the
rapidly changing media environment and the influence these changes
have on individual political behavior and governments as a whole.
New Directions in Media and Politics will make an ideal book for
courses as it digs deeper into the questions that standard
textbooks only hint at-and presents scholarly evidence to support
the arguments made.
