Reviews
Reviews for the previous edition Joe Turow's new edition of Media Today not only provides historical context and clear descriptions of current media structures and effects, but also offers up-to-date insights into the rapid changes in our media and why they matter. The new edition of Media Today does a masterful job of clearly explaining the latest changes in media industries and why these changes should matter to us. I am always excited for the latest edition! -Matt McAllister, Penn State University Media Today 7 is a comprehensive survey of the world of communication that, unlike most 'intro' textbooks, goes beyond the surface and the latest trends. Turow's text delves in depth into the business of media so that students will find a sophisticated understanding of the fields they may pursue as a career. He also highlights the major issues, concerns, and challenges to media in our lives, culture, and politics. -David D. Perlmutter, Texas Tech University
