Series: Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies

A comparative approach to media and communication research plays an important, if not indispensable, role in achieving a core mission of researchers: to delimit the generality and specificity of media and communication theories, enabling researchers to more readily identify the influence of social, political and cultural contexts in shaping media and communication phenomena. To de-Westernize and internationalize media and communication studies has thus become the way forward for overcoming the parochialism of mainstream media and communication studies. This volume reflects on what comparative media and communication research has achieved or failed to achieve, the epistemological and theoretical challenges it is facing, and the new directions in which it should be heading.

Reviews for Advancing Comparative Media and Communication Research

Comparative communication research is vitally important in an age of media globalisation. This edited collection provides a major contribution to the field, extending it to a transnational level and to the age of mobile media and big data. --Terry Flew, Professor of Media and Communication, Queensland University of Technology This anthology gains its tremendous potency and relevance in responding to the urgent and mushrooming interest in comparative communication studies under the aegis of ever-increasing dialogues between different civilizations. The choice of cutting-edge topics and contributors from both the West and the Rest would guarantee its adaptability into different classroom and scholastic contexts, thereby opening up a truly global horizon for media and communication pedagogy and research. --SHI, Anbin, Ministry of Education's Changjiang Endowment Professor of Global Media and Communication, Tsinghua University, China
