        Edited by Michael Kackman & Mary Celeste Kearney

With contributions from 30 leading media scholars, this collection 
provides a comprehensive overview of the main methodologies of critical 
media studies. Chapters address various methods of textual analysis, as 
we’ll as reception, policy, and production studies, and contextual, 
multi-method approaches, like intertextuality and cultural geography. 
Film and television are at the heart of the collection, which also 
addresses emergent technologies and new research tools in such areas as 
software studies, gaming, and digital humanities. Each chapter includes 
an intellectual history of a particular method or approach, a discussion 
of why and how it was used to study a particular medium or media, 
relevant examples of influential work in the area, and an in-depth 
review of a case study drawn from the author's own research. Together, 
the chapters in this collection give media critics a complete toolbox of 
essential critical media studies methodologies.
