Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture: Updated Media Enhanced 3rd Edition, 3/e

Stanley J. Baran, Bryant College

ISBN: 0072827580
Copyright year: 2004

Overview



This text encourages students to take more active roles as media consumers and gives them a deeper understanding of the role the media play in both shaping and reflecting culture. Through this cultural perspective, students learn that audience members are as much a part of the mass communication process as are the media producers, technologies, and industries. Baran's was the first university-level text to make media literacy central to its approach.
