Review Quotes:
"This book offers a highly accessible yet incisively synthetic introduction to media and communication research. Including and also going beyond a comprehensive review of the field, it invites the reader to engage with a fascinating range of influential arguments, carefully contextualised historically, about the importance of media and communication in society."
- Sonia Livingstone, Professor, Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science
"Another day, another social media app, another viral deepfake... As we struggle to comprehend our tumultuous media landscape, this book anchors our understanding of human communication in the face of digital acceleration. The authors offer a longue duree perspective coupled with robust analytical frameworks that are valuable indeed."
