5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to complex media studies concepts, 27 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Media Student's Book (Paperback)

This is a textbook that goes further than any similar volume has ever done. It introduces many complicated and often confusing topics in straightforward terms, which are demonstrated using comprehensive case studies. It also covers a broad range of media-related issues widely studied at degree level, and is structured into well ordered, intuitive chapters. The new chapters in the second edition, particularly that in regard to the internet, are of an excellent standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars The stepping stone of media, 24 Mar 2006

By	Wild Thing (Banbury, Oxfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Media Student's Book (Paperback)

I found Branston and Stafford's Media and Students Book, extremely helpful to me in my first year of studying media studies.
Quoting several different scholars and theorists, to back up some well thought out and well explained ideas behind media.
It was an excellent stepping stone for me and a platform to read more advanced media books, as this one was the foundation or the ground floor of media books, it covers the basics of media.
Overall a good read and highly reccommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, but..., 27 Feb 2004

By	"murderhewrote69" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Media Student's Book (Paperback)

I got this for my AVCE Media class, and I basically haven't used it much. Very worth it for extra reading, or going over stuff, but hasn't covered much past what the tutor has given me. This is probably because you are given what you need in class, in class. Still worth a buy to revise from at home
