Partly reader, partly textbook, this book brings core primary media theory readings to the student whilst assisting them with reading, understanding, decoding and deconstructing the material. Part I defines the concepts of theory and reading; Part II presents eleven key thinkers or schools of thought; Part III presents eight approaches to media theory; and Part IV puts media theory in context.
