[ecrea] New Canadian edition of Communication and New Media: From Broadcast to Narrowcast

I am pleased to announce the release of the newly published “Canadian 
Edition of Communication and New Media: From Broadcast to Narrowcast” by 
Martin Hirst, John Harrison, and Patricia Mazepa



“Firmly grounded in a political economy approach, this new Canadian 
edition is an innovative introduction to media and communication that 
examines issues of ownership, access, and control as technologies combine to

create new hybrid technologies that are changing the way we relate to 
each other and the world around us. Expertly adapted to meet the needs 
and interests of Canadian students, this text maintains a global 
perspective while

integrating Canadian research, data, government policy and legislation, 
and examples throughout.”
