Description
Media and Power explores the complex relationship between media and society, examining three key questions: how much power do the media have, who really controls the media, and what is the relationship between media and power in society. James Curran reviews existing answers to these questions before offering original interpretations in a series of essays.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to media research and an innovative analysis of media power, guiding readers through major debates in media studies. It considers the role of the media in shaping modern society, the impact of 'new media' on society, and the current state of radical media research.
