SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Now more than ever, media surround, enhance, and affect our everyday experiences. Navigating the converged worlds of text, audio, and visual media - and understanding how they fit together - can be challenging. Media & Culture recognizes these challenges and makes the media industries accessible in print and online. The new edition reflects the latest and most relevant changes to the digital media world, from multi-platform television to streaming music to shifting economics to social change. We've merged the print book with our digital capabilities by offering a brand new interactive timeline and thought-provoking videos through our LaunchPad platform. With these exciting additions, Media & Culture brings together industry expertise, media history, and current trends for an exhilarating look at the media right now."--Page 4 of cover.
