  From Reuters to Donkey Kong, from Bollywood to Bertelsmann, international communication has been transformed in the late-20th century. As the political, economic and technological contexts within which the media operate become increasingly global, students need to develop a clear understanding of how these extraordinary changes affect the world we live in. This comprehensive survey charts these developments and the way in which they affect media and communication studies. It explores their significance for the established domains of institutions, texts and audiences, drawing on an international range of case studies. There are graphs, summaries and questions, along with advice on key reading.

  The second edition of International Communication examines the profound changes that have taken place, and are continuing to take place at an astonishing speed, in international media and communication since the turn of the new millennium. Building on the success of the first edition, the second maps out the expansion of media and telecommunications corporations within the macro-economic context of liberalisation, deregulation and privitisation. It then goes on to explore the impact of such growth on audiences in different cultural contexts and from regional, national and international perspectives. Each chapter contains engaging case studies which exemplify the main concepts and arguments. ' The best introduction and overview of the subject in print. Thussu works across all the important social, economic and political issues connected to the topic, making thoughtful and persuasive arguments. The book is well organized and highly readable.' - Professor Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois, USA
