International Communication: Continuity and Change

Autor Daya Kishan Thussu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 dec 2018
The third edition of International Communication examines the profound changes that have taken place, and are continuing to take place at an astonishing speed, in international media and communication.

Building on the success of previous editions, this book maps out the expansion of media and telecommunications corporations within the macro-economic context of liberalisation, deregulation and privitisation. It then goes on to explore the impact of such growth on audiences in different cultural contexts and from regional, national and international perspectives. Each chapter contains engaging case studies which exemplify the main concepts and arguments.

Recenzii

Daya Thussu's International Communication is an excellent introduction to global media or international communication. It has excellent historical analysis, somewhat focused on the British Empire and its colonies, but quite comprehensive. It covers all the major issues well and is quite comprehensive. while also being very readable. It uses key case studies well and should intrigue both students new to the subject, as well as more advanced readers.
In this time of major transformations, contentions and challenges, understanding and conducting international communication is more critical than ever. Thussu's third edition presents the reader with an extraordinarily prescient and penetrating perspective on international communication and its complex contexts. With its vibrant case studies, it is must reading for policymakers and practitioners as well as students.
This book is an outstanding combination of historical analysis, factual data and coverage of current trends in global media. The research contributes to deeper understanding of media in many regions and countries across the world, which makes Daya Thussu's book a valuable input into global research of media and communications.
