Reviews for Communication, Cultural and Media Studies: The Key Concepts

Praise for the previous edition Hartley is no chump; he’s a wry guide and a puckish professor, embodying the young-old spirit of the discipline he has inhabited and informed for decades. … He provides serious, solid definitions, but also cheeky marginal notes on the official history. … In every sentence, you feel the author’s personality: his earnestness, his honesty, his childlike desire to engage, to ask, to argue. Will Brooker, Kingston University, Times Higher Education.
