Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition integrates perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities, focusing on methodology as a strategic level of analysis that joins practical applications with theoretical issues.
The Handbook comprises three main elements: historical accounts of the development of key concepts and research traditions; systematic reviews of media organizations, discourses, and users, as well as of the wider social and cultural contexts of communication; and practical guidelines with sample studies, taking readers through the different stages of a research process and reflecting on the social uses and consequences of research.
Updates to this edition include:
- An overview of the interrelations between networked, mass, and interpersonal communication.
- A new chapter on digital methods.
- Three chapters illustrating different varieties of media and communication research, including industry–academic collaboration and participatory action research.
- Presentation and discussion of public issues such as surveillance and the reconfiguration of local and global media institutions.
This book is an invaluable reference work for students and researchers in the fields of media, communication, and cultural studies.
This is a great example of interdisciplinarity at work.
Elihu Katz, Annenberg School of Communication
This new edition offers a historical, philosophical, topical, and methodologica overview that manages to be both deep and wide-ranging. It will be of tremendous use for students and others seeking a better understanding of communication as both a topic and a field.
Nancy Baym, University of Kansas
As society becomes ever more mediated, reliant on and reconfigured by complex and fastchanging digital technologies, academic analysis is urgently in need of fresh thinking. Look no further: this volume offers a wealth of insightful concepts, critical questions and intellectual traditions to revitalise our field. Through a rigorous historical grounding, it simultaneously integrates and yet distinguishes among key approaches to pose a new research agenda for the digital world.
Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and Political Science.
A Handbook of Media and Communication Research is a guiding light of interdisciplinarity, arising from both the humanities and the social sciences. Klaus Bruhn Jensen and his stellar co-authors guide us through the various genres of media and communication (news, entertainment, etc.), as well as the effects of interpersonal media, mass media, and everything in-between. They look at how we study the phenomenon (qualitative, quantitative, digital), its cultural and historical dimensions, as well as the position of media industries. The book is a welcome beacon for all students and scholars navigating the current state of media and communication.
