"""Sitting down with David Gauntlett's 'Making Media Studies' is like having a conversation with an erudite, yet still optimistic scholar. Gauntlett celebrates 'everyday makers' on digital platforms such as YouTube, giving readers the pragmatic and conceptual tools needed to understand the positive aspects of this ongoing cultural shift. The result is a deeply engaging antidote to more pessimistic stirrings."" (Matt Ratto, Associate Professor, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto) ""What Gauntlett offers is a bold, imaginative - and occasionally provocative - view of what media studies might become. This is a lively contribution to thinking about media and communications."" (Shaun Moores, Professor, University of Sunderland)"
