'The BRICS countries constitute some of the most dynamic and influential players in reshaping the global communication order. This timely volume culminates a concerted multi-national effort in study media and communication in these countries. It offers rich empirical analysis and an invaluable point of reference for the ongoing search for new paradigms in reconceptualizing global communication'. - Yuezhi Zhao, Fellow, Royal Society of Canada, and Canada Research Chair in Political Economy of Global Communication, Simon Fraser University 'Global Media Studies is being rapidly retooled for a multipolar world, where principles of communications policy are increasingly enmeshed with geopolitical competition and soft power diplomacy. BRICS Media make important contributions to these debates, which are not only about power and statecraft, but competing worldviews, knowledge paradigms and ethical standpoints. - Terry Flew, Professor of Communication, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
