These revised editions of four classic texts each include a new introduction by Henry Jenkins, explaining ‘Why Fiske Still Matters’ for today’s students, followed by a discussion chapter between former Fiske students.

The John Fiske Collection includes re-issues of the following four classic texts:

  • Introduction to Communication Studies
  • Television Culture
  • Reading the Popular
  • Understanding Popular Culture

This collection will be highly useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students on all communication, media and cultural studies courses.

"Well-written and accessible [...] Making the difficult seem easy is Fiske's great talent. No introductory reading list in the field would be complete without a Fiske."Sociology Magazine

"Fiske’s analyses skilfully trace the insertion of conflicting social, economic, cultural and political ideologies within the television text."Darrell Y. Hamamoto, Film Quarterly

"Shows a welcome ability to provide lucid and balanced summaries of a complex and diverse field."British Book News
