International Media Studies cover

International Media Studies is a bold introduction to the field that focuses on a de-centering of media epistemology to represent a more thorough world-view.

  • A comprehensive textbook exploring the current state of media studies as it is being practised across the world
  • Takes discussions about media studies beyond other textbooks, by situating the subject firmly in an international context appropriate to the globalized, 21st century
  • Surveys our reception of a wide variety of media content and formats including television, magazines, fiction, newspapers, and popular music
  • Considers both theoretical and much-needed ethnographic perspectives on media studies
  • Showcases global and local media patterns in a variety of countries around the world, including examples from Asia, Africa, and Latin America

“In this important book, Divya McMillin extends media industry analysis beyond Anglo-American paradigms. The result is a reconfiguration of the field that is at once bold, brave, and scholarly.” -- John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

"Arguing for a postcolonial turn in media studies, McMillin brilliantly demonstrates that new modes of analysis and new objects of study can provide fresh and provocative approaches to the study of globalization." -- Michael Curtain, University of Wisconsin
