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.
