Understanding Media Users: From Theory to Practice
The book Understanding Media Users: From Theory to Practice written by Tony Wilson is an in-depth study of the concept of “active audiences” in media studies. In this book, Wilson examines the relationship between media and audiences, describing the development of media effects theory and the analytical approaches that make up media reception theory. She explores various interfaces of media interaction, such as television, film, the internet, advertising, journalism, and tourism studies, and highlights how the experiences of media users shape their meanings and interpretations. With an emphasis on the phenomenological experience of media use, the book also discusses how cultures of consumption and identity in cyberspace continue to evolve. Wilson concludes with insights into the future of media reception in the global era, making it essential reading for academics and practitioners who want to understand the dynamics between media and audiences in changing contexts.
