[ecrea] New book: Innovative Methods in Media and Communication Research

Fri Jan 20 17:22:08 GMT 2017




We are very pleased to announce the publication of /Innovative Methods in Media and Communication Research/ (Palgrave Macmillan 2016). The book engages with the need to rethink established methods to research acute changes in the media environment. The book gathers chapters dedicated to the multifacetedness and liveliness of emerging methods while embedding them in the rich history of interdisciplinary empirical research. Innovation here is a call for widening and rethinking research methods to stimulate a sophisticated debate on and exploration of contemporary methodological approaches for scholars at various levels of academic life.

Accompanied by introductory sections of prominent scholars (Saskia Sassen, Noortje Marres, Sarah Pink and Lev Manovich), the majority of empirical studies gathered in this volume are accomplished through early-career scholars who strive to advance cutting-edge and in parts even provocative approaches for the study of media and communication. We truly hope that the book will a valuable resource for doing research as well as for assisting teaching by providing a methods book that draws together a diverse and eclectic range of material that is presented in accessible and stimulating form.

Endorsed by Jean Burgess, Jack Qiu and Helen Kennedy, /Innovative Methods in Media and Communication Research/ is available as softcover and eBook at https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9783319406992 or https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783319406992 (and all online/offline bookstores).
