Series: Routledge Media and Cultural Studies Companions

The Routledge Companion to Media Audiences captures the ways in which audiences and audience researchers are adapting to emerging social, cultural, market, technical and environmental conditions.

Bringing together 40 original essays, this anthology explores how our constantly changing encounters with media are complex, contradictory and increasingly commercialized in the modern world. Each specially commissioned chapter by both early-career and experienced international scholars surveys new conceptualizations and constitutions of audiences, and assesses key issues, themes and developments within the field. As such, this companion cements itself as an indispensable guide for students and researchers who seek a comprehensive overview and source of inspiration for a diverse range of topics in media audiences.

The Routledge Companion to Media Audiences is an accessible, landmark tool which enhances our understanding of how media is utilized through advanced empirical research and methodological enquiry. It is a must-read for media studies, communication studies, cultural studies, humanities and social science scholars and students.

Reviews for The Routledge Companion to Media Audiences

"""A phenomenal contribution. It not only offers an authoritative and up-to-date survey of the field but also shows how it is being revitalised by engagements with technological, social, geopolitical and cultural shifts. Based on the ideas presented here, audience studies represents an exciting and important set of questions, methods, and critical orientations from which to explore a rapidly changing and ever more media-saturated world."" - Rosalind Gill, Goldsmiths, University of London"
