The recent economic crisis, and the challenges to democracy in an 
increasingly globalized world, brings into sharp relief the importance 
of mass communication. This volume explores a range of issues, from the 
nature of communication, to the role of the media industry, to the way 
that mass communication has facilitated social movements in many parts 
of the world. Revisiting the works of Karl Marx and others, the essays 
bring a new perspective and a renewed interest in critical analyses of 
communication practices globally. This collection represents the cutting 
edge of communication research introducing a new generation of scholars 
to understanding changes in the way we learn about our society.

Contributors are: Arthur Asa Berger, Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Savas Çoban, 
John Bellamy Foster, Christian Fuchs, Douglas Kellner, Robert W. 
McChesney, David Miller, Marisol Sandoval, Nick Stevenson, Gerald 
Sussman, Mandy Tröger, and Michael Wayne.
