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.
