Reviews
'The 21st Century Media (R)evolution' offers a comprehensive, compelling and insightful mapping of the changing landscape of new media. Grounding his argument in a trove of case studies that have been brought up to date in this second edition, Jim Macnamara stands apart in his ability to integrate theory and practice and will set the agenda for the next phase of thought in the field of communication. A must-read for all communication scholars and professionals. (Wei-Wen Chung, Dean, College of Communication, National Chengchi University) Jim Macnamara's book is a tour de force. It is a must-read for all students and instructors who wish to engage with 21st century media in a critical fashion. In a beautifully written and updated text Macnamara intelligently critiques the complexities of the 21st century media landscape. I highly recommend this latest edition. (Eoin Devereux, University of Limerick, Ireland) Jim Macnamara's book provides a very well-informed survey of the multiple, often confusing dynamics of contemporary media. He draws on a huge range of debates, remaining skeptical of hype but keeping a sharp eye out for new opportunities for public deliberation and a more informed public culture. This expanded edition is as smart, enlightening and accessible as the original edition. Highly recommended. (Nick Couldry, London School of Economics, United Kingdom)
