PRAISE FOR MASS COMMUNICATION: LIVING IN A MEDIA WORLD

“It is a PERFECT TEXT in that it covers everything related to mass communication but more importantly focuses on the importance of media literacy in understanding one’s world and one’s thoughts.”

—Kim Mac Innis Bridgewater State University

“This is a great text. The topics are presented in a very thoughtful order. The chapters are thorough, yet very MANAGEABLE to cover during class lectures on a tight semester timeframe.”

—Rick Bebout Reed College of Media, West Virginia

University

“I have really liked this text. It’s easy to teach, FRESH, CURRENT, and features graphics that I feel reflect the material and the current state of media comm as it stands.”

—Christopher T. Gullen Westfield State University

“This is a QUALITY INTRODUCTION and overview to a sprawling field that involves many disciplines.”

—Tim J. Anderson Old Dominion University

“This has it ALL! I can’t think of anything else I want in a textbook.”

—Karl Babij DeSales University

“The Hanson text’s narrative approach allows the work to be both ACCESSIBLE AND THOROUGH. From the opening vignettes through the multiple ‘added’ content in the form of secrets, media literacy sections, and media transformation cutouts, Hanson’s text manages to weave complex mass communication phenomena into coherent story about how the media came to look the way it does.”

—Aaron Heresco California Lutheran University
