Advancing Comparative Media and Communication Research

"Comparative communication research is vitally important in an age of media globalisation. This edited collection provides a major contribution to the field, extending it to a transnational level and to the age of mobile media and big data." --Terry Flew, Professor of Media and Communication, Queensland University of Technology

"This anthology gains its tremendous potency and relevance in responding to the urgent and mushrooming interest in comparative communication studies under the aegis of ever-increasing dialogues between different civilizations. The choice of cutting-edge topics and contributors from both the West and the Rest would guarantee its adaptability into different classroom and scholastic contexts, thereby opening up a truly global horizon for media and communication pedagogy and research." --SHI, Anbin, Ministry of Education’s Changjiang Endowment Professor of Global Media and Communication, Tsinghua University, China
