Críticas

`An interesting book to read, written in a simple and transparent style and interlaced with topical, up-to-date examples of media events' - Journal of Educational Media

`Eoin Devereux has provided an exceptionally lucid and well organised introduction for students, which keeps a clear eye on the social context of the mass media, and deploys a range of examples and practical exercises to help them find their way through this complex but fascinating field of study. The book includes a very helpful and well chosen set of exemplary readings, and clear guidance on further reading and activities. The package as a whole is an invaluable introduction to any student trying to get to grips with the social study of the mass media' - Professor Peter Golding, Loughborough University

`Eoin Devereux's book Understanding the Media will be welcomed with relief by students and teachers in Media and Communication studies. Undergraduates are often very media savvy and have an intuitive mastery of their symbolic environment. Analytic understanding, however, is another story and that is precisely what this book offers. Devereux takes the students on a reading tour through production, text and reception asking them to bring their own knowledge along' - Liesbet van Zoonen, University of Amsterdam
