The Political Economy of Media and Power is a highly interdisciplinary and innovative edited collection, bringing together a diverse range of chapters that address some of the most important issues of our times. Contributors cut through media spectacle and make visible the intersections between mass media and the politics of power in the contemporary social world.
The book is intended to foster critical pedagogy; chapters explore ways in which media connect with a broad range of topics and issues, including globalization; war and terrorism; foreign affairs; democracy; governmental relations; the cultural politics of militarization; gender inequality and the sexist saturation of the public sphere; media representations of women; media spin and public relations within the broader context of corporate and ideological power.
The volume features notable contributors, including a preface by Cees Hamelink, an introduction by David Miller and William Dinan, and chapters from Justin Lewis, Robin Andersen, Henry Giroux, James Winter, Robert Jensen, Stuart Allan, Richard Keeble, Yasmin Jiwani, David Berry, Gerald Sussman, and Andrew Mullen.
«The editor (...) is already one of the most important commentators on and defenders of the value of the Propaganda Model. [...] (...) the debate between Klaehn and several of his other contributors is a model of good academic writing - open, status-free and respectful! (...) this is a very useful addition to reading lists for both undergraduates and postgraduates in media and communication studies, in politics and social sciences.» (John W. Robertson, University of the West of Scotland, Ceasefire Magazine)
«This is an extremely important book. Bringing together an impressive range of international authors, each chapter discusses issues of pressing concern for the modern world: capitalism; power; structural inequality; war; and misrepresentation of ordinary people. A must for any critical scholar.» (John E. Richardson, Senior Lecturer in Critical Discourse Studies, Newcastle University, UK)
«Students of communication studies, journalism, sociology, political science and cultural studies will find this collection illuminating and invaluable.» (Daniel Broudy, Professor of Rhetoric & Applied Linguistics, Okinawa Christian University, Japan)
