About

How well do you understand media as it is today?

We all know media is continually changing, which makes it important to know how it all works. With fake news and disinformation schemes, how you read and interpret media, in any source, can make a difference. Get to the heart of the matter by exploring the media landscape as it is today, but also seeing where it all came from with the up-to-date research and examples within Media & Culture, 13e.


From TikTok influencers and Twitter politics to streaming TV and digital deepfakes, Media & Culture, 13e helps you understand the connection between the mass media and today’s most significant trends. The text’s coverage of cutting-edge topics—everything from citizen journalism and 5G to Animal Crossing and Tiger King—makes succeeding in your mass communication course informative, interesting, and entertaining.
