Format:Paperback
This book was extremely authoritative, informative, and an excellent buy. The text covers all of the key areas of the media, with historical analysis, and current issues extensievly covered, with comprehensive analysis. It discussed the history, sociology, theory and politics of the media and is written in an engaging and fluid style. This book was definately one of my best buys for my Media Law course, and I would also recommend it to anyone with an interest in learning more about the Media.

Format:Paperback
To give you a sense of the man behind this piece, James Curran is a an endearing, old school acedemic rumoured to have been unable to work at University until his desk from home was brought to him. He often gives lectures whilst in slippers. He is one of the only professors who really care to teach first year students. This book is superbly written, is witty and a radical as he.

Are you a journalism student? If so, then this is the book for you. It gives a history of the British press and discusses the sociological issues surrounding journalism today. Both interesting and informative, it's ideal.
