Understanding the conceptual relationship between the building blocks of media and communication is important not just for one’s knowledge, but for what works in practice. This is important especially as societies become complex. From its macro-perspective, Media Anthology sees both media and communication landscapes as experiencing dramatic changes since the introduction of social media. It helps the reader to scope and digest trending issues presented within the field of mass media and communication. For students of media and communication, this book opens an array of information. And to the practitioner, it introduces an opportunity to locate and fuse practice with professionalism in a dynamic and contested field like media and communication. (Imprint: Nova)
