This book is topical, sophisticated and important. It presents a thorough analysis of the role of media, old and new, in relation to education policy, with substantive examples, and a sophisticated and comprehensive conceptual framework for further research. The book offers a set of key analytical tools for a field of study too long neglected by policy researchers. A must for any education policy researcher's bookshelf. Emeritus Professor Stephen J Ball, University College London This is a highly important and timely book on the topic of education policy and the role of the media, both print and online. Focusing on the role of the continued mediatization of education governance, the book has been written by two dynamic researchers, whose writing and influence in the field of transnational education governance cannot be over-stated. Well-theorised and featuring a plethora of empirical analyses from a range of education policy contexts, this book is thoroughly recommended for students and scholars interested in the field of education governance and mediatisation in Europe and globally. Professor Sotiria Grek, Chair in European and Global Education Governance, University of Edinburgh The mediatisation of education is here to stay. This book provides persuasive evidence that education policy-making now involves multiple media, platforms and genres. Baroutsis and Lingard's carefully constructed case studies clearly show that media makes and breaks educational understandings, shaping local and global educational practices for better and worse. Professor Pat Thomson, Professor of Education, The University of Nottingham
