Rezensionen

"Ingrid Volker has collected an admirably rich,
thought-provoking and diverse collection of views to guide critical
scholarship as our topic ('the media' and 'media
cultures'), methods (which must now be comparative) and the
knowledge we produce are all transformed by
globalisation."

- Sonia Livingstone, author of Media Regulation: Governance
and the interests of citizens and consumers

"In this Handbook, leading academic and practitioner
analysts give us valuable insight into globalized forms of
communication, their diversity, the global/local dialectic, and the
challenges of critical historical and comparative study of
transnational media and communication."

- Robin Mansell, author of Imagining the Internet:
Communication, Innovation and Governance

"With a stellar list of contributors and an engagement with the
global that both traces and transcends its boundaries, Ingrid
Volkmer's volume is the cardinal chart of our media worlds."

- Mark Deuze, author of Media Life and Media Work

"This is a long-overdue volume. The distinguished
contributors to The Handbook of Global Media Research have
produced a challenging and authoritative guide to understanding the
latest developments in global media."

- Thomas R. Lindlof, University of Kentucky
