Media Organization and Production
- Simon Cottle - Cardiff University, UK
The Media in Focus series
Mass Communication
These topics are examined through a variety of theoretical and conceptual frameworks that help to illuminate how cultural production often involves a complex articulation of differing influences and constraints, both material and discursive, intended and unintended, structurally determined and culturally mediated.Together the chapters in this book help to recover this complexity and thereby help us to better understand the nature and output of today's media.
This is a very helpful general read for music and media students.
Really useful for Alevel and BTEC Media as both need to cover the role of the institution.
