Culture and Power: A Media, Culture & Society Reader

---

Culture and Power: A Media, Culture & Society Reader offers a comprehensive introduction to the key issues and debates that dominated media studies in the period 1985-1991. Drawing on key articles published in the journal Media, Culture & Society, it is a rich guide for students and researchers seeking to understand theoretical developments in media studies.

The book is divided into three main parts. The first part examines important theoretical developments in media studies, such as the increasing use of feminist and cultural studies approaches, and the emergence of debates around postmodernism. This provides a strong theoretical foundation for readers to explore the complexities of the relationship between media and power.

The second part focuses on audience research, examining the role and behaviour of audiences as media consumers in depth. Issues around interpretation, participation, and how audiences shape and are shaped by the media are highlighted here. Finally, the third part discusses the concept of the public sphere, highlighting how the media play a central role in shaping public discussion and democratic processes.

An ideal textbook for students of media and communication, Culture and Power provides important insights into critical perspectives in media studies. The combination of important articles from leading researchers makes this book not only academically relevant but also a useful resource for those interested in the relationship between culture, media, and power in society.
