An important approach to media
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a good collection of media essays with a marxist and technophobe bent that includes articles by some of the most important scholars working in media criticism today. It points up the difficulties and complexities of the complete domination of media by commerce. In addition, it brings the material into the age of globalization rather than looking at media as single technological units. One area I think that it misses is the cell phone revolution, because that could create a counter model to the centralizing aspects of commercial media.
