INTRODUCTION 5
Viewed collectively, the readings comprising this section offer a commanding
insight into the historical development of media studies together with an
informed appraisal of the connections between the new developments, debates
and controversies which typify recent work in this area. Albeit necessarily more
cautiously and conjecturally, they also identify the directions in which future
research might be expected to develop. The overall result is a useful synoptic
perspective on where media studies has been, where it is now and where it is likely
to be going.
