More DescriptionInternational Media Research offers a review of key approaches and concerns which have shaped recent research in media and communication studies. The book opens with an introduction by the editors which surveys the current state of the field. Individual chapters assess the work of Elihu Katz, consider the relationship between media studies and the adjacent fields of cultural studies and gender studies, and trace developments in media policy and media research in the European Union, East-Central Europe, North America and Latin America. The final chapter discusses the history of the media's role in reporting war. This major survey firmly places media research in the wider context of political and social change and its analysis, and provides a defining but also questioning perspective on its achievements.
