‘It is a wonderful thing to read these marvellous essays of Nick Couldry, that stand the test of time, and offer us in a timely collection, a resonant and searching set of investigations into the central trajectories of media and culture. This is theory at its best, communicated in an unfailingly generous, bracingly refractory, and utterly distinctive voice. Essential and rewarding reading!’ Gerard Goggin, Professor of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University 'If you dislike compilation volumes, this book will prove you wrong. Spanning key issues in culturalist media studies – from Princess Diana’s funeral to Big Data - Couldry offers a coherent and grounded exercise in intellectual wonder.' Kirsten Drotner, University of Southern Denmark 'Strongly anchored in time and space, Couldry’s essays employ a plurality of theoretical voices to advance our ability to make sense of what people do with media.'
