?With new material on social networks and social movements, this new edition of Durham and Kellner's reader retains its status as the best available compendium of essays on cultural criticism and interpretation.? - Theodore L. Glasser, Stanford University ?Durham and Kellner have once again given us the indispensible anthology of canonical and cutting edge work in the field. The second edition comes along at just the right moment, grounding and guiding us through the profound transformations in media and culture.? - Jack Bratich, Rutgers University ?Bringing these canonical works together - with welcome additions in new media and globalization?provides a great service. As the media/society transformations become more complex, the editors? multi-perspectival view keeps the critical focus on power and domination.? - Stephen D. Reese, University of Texas ?Media and Cultural Studies: KeyWorks, Second Edition is a thought-provoking collection of seminal conceptual essays that engage readers and illuminate the myriad of relationships existing between media, culture and society.? - Bonnie Brennen, Marquette University The first edition was a must-have addition to the critical media scholar's bookshelf. The new edition improves on a classic. - D. Charles Whitney, Northwestern University School of Communication
