Summary

"This book provides a critical insight into the relationship between the media and the public. It examines the way in which the public is represented, referred to and portrayed in the media, and how the media acts or speaks on the public's behalf." "The author offers a range of illustrative examples of broadcasting from US, Australian and British contexts, providing students with a variety of engaging international examples with which to draw comparisons and compare their own media experiences. Each chapter includes recommended texts for further reading and questions for discussion." "Media and Their Publics is an essential text for students and researchers in media studies, cultural policy and political communications."--BOOK JACKET.
