“When a book hits its sixth edition, one knows it's a classic. Media and 
Society is that and more, providing sharp, insightful, not-to-be-missed 
analysis of the current state of the media and why it matters.” – 
*/Barbie Zelizer, Raymond Williams Professor of Communication, Annenberg 
School, University of Pennsylvania, USA/**//*

“As the field's most reliable guide, /Media and Society /has continued 
to foster vital debate, extend boundaries, and raise the horizon of 
vision in communications research. This classic, in all its six 
editions, deserves an enduring place in the literature.” – */Professor 
Chin-Chuan Lee, Yu Shan Chair Professor of Communication, National 
Chengchi University, Taiwan/*
