COMMUNICATION AND SOCIETY
Series Editor: James Curran

This series encompasses the broad field of media and cultural studies. Its
main concerns are the media and the public sphere: on whether the media
empower or fail to empower popular forces in society; media organizations
and public policy; the political and social consequences of media campaigns;
and the role of media entertainment, ranging from potboilers and the human
interest story to rock music and TV sport.
