A global, comparative study of Western and non-Western cultural
contexts with quantitative and qualitative evidence from China, the
US, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Fits
with the recent 'turn' to practice in media studies, making links
to established concepts in media and communication studies and
draws connections and continuations between practice and key ideas.
Links comparative media systems analysis with ethnographic studies
of personal and social internet usage.
This book outlines a theory of communication and justice for the
digital age, updating classic positions in political philosophy and
ethics, and engaging thinkers from Aristotle through Immanuel Kant
and the American pragmatists to John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, and
Amartya Sen. In communication seeking to define justice and call
out injustice, there is such a thing as the last word. The chapters
in this book trace the historical emergence of communication as a
human right; specify the technological resources and institutional
frameworks necessary for exercising that right; and address some of
the challenges following from digitalization that currently
confront citizens, national regulators, and international agencies.
Among the issues covered are public access to information archives
past and present; local and global networks of communication as
sources of personal identities and imagined communities; the
ongoing reconfiguration of the press as a fourth branch of
governance; and privacy as a precondition for individuals and
collectives to live their lives according to plans, and to make
their own histories. The book will be of interest to students and
researchers in media and communication studies, cultural studies,
political philosophy and ethics, and interdisciplinary fields
examining the ethical and political implications of new information
and communication infrastructures.

Klaus Bruhn Jensen is a well known academic and an authoritative
and original author. There is a lack of good theory books for media
and communications studies and the clear three part structure will
appeal to students. Added features such as case studies, tables and
diagrams to explain key concepts and a comprehensive glossary of
terms will help steer students through complex material. The author
is well-known for overviews and syntheses that join otherwise
conflicting research traditions. The first part of the book
presents an accessible history of ideas, placing communication in
relation to key thinkers from Aristotle, via Immanuel Kant and
Charles Sanders Peirce, to Jurgen Habermas and Richard Rorty. The
second part of the book bridges technological, social, and
aesthetic approaches to media and communication. The third and
final part of the book includes sections on 'how to study new
media' with concrete analytical examples. The book presents a
sustained critique of Habermas' influential work on the ideal
communication situation.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition integrates
perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities, focusing
on methodology as a strategic level of analysis that joins
practical applications with theoretical issues. The Handbook
comprises three main elements: historical accounts of the
development of key concepts and research traditions; systematic
reviews of media organizations, discourses, and users, as well as
of the wider social and cultural contexts of communication; and
practical guidelines with sample studies, taking readers through
the different stages of a research process and reflecting on the
social uses and consequences of research. Updates to this edition
include: An overview of the interrelations between networked, mass,
and interpersonal communication. A new chapter on digital methods.
Three chapters illustrating different varieties of media and
communication research, including industry-academic collaboration
and participatory action research. Presentation and discussion of
public issues such as surveillance and the reconfiguration of local
and global media institutions. This book is an invaluable reference
work for students and researchers in the fields of media,
communication, and cultural studies.

Series Information: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
This is the first in-depth study of how television viewers around
the world respond to the ever increasing mass of information
available from news programmes. Based on individual and household
interviews in seven countries including India, Mexico, Italy and
Denmark, the contributors examine the flow of news information
across national and international borders.
In less than ten years, the world wide web has become part of
everyday life. During the 1990s, it was often perceived as a
possible source of dramatic social change for business, politics,
and the arts. Now, it is increasingly clear that the web has itself
been shaped by the existing institutions of society -- businesses,
parliaments, schools, families -- even while challenging some of
their structures and premises. This volume takes stock of the web,
a decade after its popular breakthrough. The articles examine
websites as interfaces to contemporary culture and as resources for
political participation. Following accounts of the history of
computers and the web, the volume presents concrete analyses of how
politicians, corporations, activists, cultural institutions, and
media weave the web for the general public.
