Among the most acclaimed communication scholars in the world, Robert W. McChesney has brought together all the major themes of his two decades of research. Rich in detail, evidence and thoughtful arguments, The Political Economy of Media provides a comprehensive critique of the degradation lof journalism, the hyper - commercialization of culture, the Internet and the emergence of the contemporary media reform movement. The Political Economy of Media is mandatory reading for anyone wishing to understand and change media, and the political economy in the world today. ISBN - 9789350020753
