Reviews for Mediated Society
"[Mediated Society] will fill a huge gap in a field that has become dominated by humanities and journalistic perspectives. At a time in which there is a developing consensus that interdisciplinary communication studies needs to embrace social theory more seriously, it is likely to be welcomed by those in communication studies programs as well as those in sociology and other social science departments."
