Review Quotes: "A unique and engaging reformulation of how the evolving structures of transnational streaming media enables new forms of collective identity. Leaving aside media scholarship's focus on national stories, Amanda D. Lotz offers compelling anecdotes that hook the reader, arguing that both television and film are increasingly tethered to communities of viewers that exceed national boundaries. After Mass Media is a compelling and accessible read for students, scholars, and anyone interested in contemporary media."-- "Tim Havens, author of Black Television Travels: African American Media Around the Globe"
