Critical Media Studies

Series Editor
Andrew Calabrese, University of Colorado

This series covers a broad range of critical research and theory about media
in the modern world. It includes work about the changing structures of the
media, focusing particularly on work about the political and economic forces
and social relations which shape and are shaped by media institutions, struc-
tural changes in policy formation and enforcement, technological transfor-
mations in the means of communication, and the relationships of all these to
public and private cultures worldwide. Historical research about the media
and intellectual histories pertaining to media research and theory are particu-
larly welcome. Emphasizing the role of social and political theory for in-
forming and shaping research about communications media, Critical Media
Studies addresses the politics of media institutions at national, subnational,
and transnational levels. The series is also interested in short, synthetic texts
on key thinkers and concepts in critical media studies.
