Media Studies, second edition, remains pedagogically rich and covers a wide range of topics from the history of media right through to coverage of new media. The second edition has been updated with the latest technological developments and trends in social media and now includes many more case studies enabling students to actively grapple with a variety of media at both a practical and intellectual level. A new feature, “New Media, New Media Studies”, brings into focus ways of thinking about new media forms. Students will emerge with a broad range of perspectives, a strong conceptual sense of the area and a firm foundation to take a critical approach to their studies at higher levels.

Media Studieswill be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of media studies, cultural studies, communication studies, film studies, the sociology of the media, popular culture and other related subjects.

Paul Long is Reader in Media Theory in the Birmingham School of Media, Birmingham City University. Tim Wall is Professor of Radio and Popular Music Studies in the Birmingham School of Media, Birmingham City University.
