About this title

Synopsis

Communication and media have become integral parts of our daily lives and society. Yet, we know very little about them. We may know how to connect with each other and which apps to download, how do all these different media actually function? And where does communication begin and end?

This introductory handbook provides an overview of both historical and contemporary developments within communication sciences. Additionally, it contains recognizable real-life cases, with contemporary examples ranging from Megan Thee Stallion to Grand Theft Auto. Moreover, we pay special attention to issues of power, social integration, and identity.

For students, Communication Studies in Perspective is an ideal and accessible introduction to communication science theory and the research surrounding it. At the same time, it is highly recommended for anyone who wants to better understand the workings of the media in the 21st century.
