Media and Society: An Introduction, offers an interdisciplinary approach to media as means of social connection in everyday life and beyond.

Integrating theory and concrete analysis in case studies, exercises, and illustrative examples from around the world, Media and Society: An Introduction delivers a go-to reference work for learning about one of the essential social infrastructures of the twenty-first century. Standing on the shoulders of classic communication models, and covering legacies of research about media institutions, texts, and media users, the chapters include both how-to sections on methods addressing current digital media forms and reflective segments that place TikTok, ChatGPT, and the emerging Internet of Things in the longer history of human communication.

As a comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on key conceptual, analytical, and normative issues facing students of media and communication today, this book is a practically applicable resource for teaching and learning about media, in the classroom, in self-study, and in different world regions. As such, it is a key resource for undergraduate students and professors in the fields of media, communication, and cultural studies.

Industry Reviews

"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, 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."

- Sun Sun Lim, Professor of Communication & Technology, Singapore Management University
