An essential guide to writing about a broad range of media objects – including film, television, social media, advertising, video games, mobile media, music videos, and digital media – in an equally broad range of formats – from essays and video essays to podcasts and playlists. This second edition has been updated to address new digital tools and resources, including generative AI.

The book’s case studies showcase media studies’ geographical and industrial breadth, with essays covering topics as varied as: Brazilian telenovelas, K-pop music videos, global streaming services, film festivals, and archives. New chapters on writing about AI-enhanced media, digital media fandoms, and immersive media experiences expand the book’s scope. With the expertise of over forty esteemed media scholars, the collection combines their personal reflections about writing with practical advice.

Through its unprecedented scope, this volume will engage not only those who may be writing about film and other screen media for the first time but also accomplished writers who are interested in exploring new screen media objects, new approaches to writing about media, and new formats for critical expression.

Accompanying instructor resources, including sample syllabi, are available at www.writingaboutscreenmedia.net
