Overview
Critical media studies is in a state of ferment -- studies exposing class bias in the media have given way to a stress on the ambivalence and inconsistency of media representations of the world. A traditional view of the media as agencies of social domination has been undercut by the rediscovery of audience power. Above all, the questioning of the totalising themes of marxism has undermined many of the established terms of reference of media research. Media, Power and Politics provides a critical guide to the debates that are causing researchers to question old models of understanding the media and to seek new frameworks. Using both case studies and overviews, James Curran poses and answers a wealth of important questions about the role of media.
