Description

The recent economic crisis, and the challenges to democracy in an increasingly globalised world, brings into sharp relief the importance of mass communication. Media and Left explores the nature of communication, to the role of the media industry, to the way that mass communication has facilitated social movements. Revisiting the works of Marx and others, the essays bring a new perspective on critical analyses of communication practices globally. This collection represents the cutting edge of communication research.
