Media Reviews
TV is so ubiquitous in the west that we forget it has any effect on people - yet it is there, quietly forming and reflecting our opinions. So too with radio and film... Here, a series of articles have been gathered to look at the Irish experience: The North; Glenroe's treatment of such topics as travelling people and the unemployed...talk radio; broadcasting in Irish... Anyone working in the media has to read this. Lucille Redmond RTE Guide Nov. 1997 this volume, much of whose contents are published for the first time, is a welcome and timely addition to the critical literature concerning the roles of media in contemporary Ireland. Media, Culture and Society 21 (1) 1999 The chapters in this book constitute a valuable contribution to our understanding of how meaning is constructed by media audiences. Bill Rolston, University of Ulster Irish Journal of Sociology vol 8 1998 Media Audiences in Ireland provides useful, audience-empowering insights for both students and professionals studying and working within all aspects of culture and communication - a good, practical set-text for university courses relating to the media.
