""Corkin does a marvelous job weaving together literatures, ideas, and concepts from sociology, history, geography, urban studies, and literary studies to show how the image of Boston is tied up in the mediated stories people tell about it.""--Michael Ian Borer, author of Urban People and Places: The Sociology of Cities, Suburbs, and Towns and Faithful to Fenway: Believing in Boston, Baseball, and America's Most Beloved Ballpark ""Corkin is one of the leading proponents of urban-oriented cinema and media studies, and Boston Mass-Mediated will be the first authoritative book-length study of Boston in mass media. Given its historical importance as a city and in media, this is essential reading.""--Mark Shiel, author of Hollywood Cinema and the Real Los Angeles
