This text offers a critical review of approaches and concerns that
have recently defined the field of media research. The contributors
to this volume analyze and reflect upon dominant themes and debates
that have made media research an increasingly important element of
political, social and cultural enquiry. Contributors drawn from the
UK, USA, Canada and Belgium consider the relationships between
media research and media policy in different national and
international contexts. Focusing on the European Union,
East-Central Europe, North America and Latin America, these
chapters assess the impact of social, economic and political
circumstances on policy debates and the shaping of a research
agenda. The final chapter adopts a trans-atlantic perspective in
tracing and analyzing the history of the medias role in reporting
war. This survey firmly places media research in the wider context
of political and social change and its analysis, and provides a
defining but also questioning perspective on its achievements.

of key approaches and concerns that have recently defined the field
of media research. The contributors to this volume analyse and
reflect upon dominant themes and debates that have made media
research an increasingly important element of political, social and
cultural enquiry. The book opens with an introduction which surveys
the current state of the field, and continues with a critical
evaluation of the work of the leading media scholar, Elihu Katz. It
goes on to explore the relationship between media studies and
adjacent fields: cultural studies and new work on gender and
sexuality. Contributors drawn from the UK, USA, Canada and Belgium

research agenda. The final chapter adopts a transatlantic
perspective in tracing and analysing the history of the media's
role in reporting war. This major survey firmly places media
