Description

Media Sociology by David Barrat explores the rapidly growing field of sociology as it studies the media. This book provides a clear account of how sociologists examine the media, including television, video, comics, newspapers, and radio, and their impact on audiences. Barrat explains the inner workings of media organizations, how news is manufactured, and the constraints imposed by politics and commerce. He also discusses the likely effects of new technologies, such as satellite and cable television, on the media industry. The book concludes with an examination of methods used to study the media, including content analysis and semiology. By examining these topics, Media Sociology offers a comprehensive understanding of the media's role in society, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in sociology or media studies.
