With this updated edition, David Hesmondhalgh joins James Curran and a team of leading international scholars to speak to current issues relating to media and gender, media and democracy, sociology of news, the global internet, the political impact of the media, popular culture, the effects of digitisation on media industries, media and emotion, and other vital topics. The media are in a state of ferment, and are undergoing far-reaching change. The sixth edition tries to make sense of the media's transformation, and its wider implications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePurely descriptive accounts date fast, so the emphasis has been on identifying the central issues and problems arising from media change, and on evaluating its wider consequences. What is judged to be the staple elements of the field has evolved over time, as well as becoming more international in orientation. Yet the overriding aim of the book - to be useful to students - has remained constant. This text is an essential resource for all media, communication and film studies students who want to broaden their knowledge and understanding of how the media operates and affects society across the globe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Curran\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK He is the author or editor of 21 books about the media, including \u003ci\u003eMedia and Power\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), \u003ci\u003eMedia and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and \u003ci\u003eMisunderstanding the Internet\u003c\/i\u003e (with Natalie Fenton and Des Freedman) (2016, 2nd ed.), all translated into multiple foreign languages, and \u003ci\u003ePower Without Responsibility\u003c\/i\u003e (with Jean Seaton) (2018, 8th ed.).
