    Fantastic! actually unbelievable
  

*by V***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2013*

It came in within a decent amount of time. Not too fast but worth the wait!I found an amazing price for this on amazon. This normally goes for around $60 but I got mine for less than $20!! The cover was curved and used and the plastic was peeling. Inside there was writing and highlighted/underlined sections. BUT I knew all of this before making my purchase. All the pages inside were in fine condition except for a couple dog-flapped corners. Lucky the notes inside were helpful. If you're looking to buy a used book online - GO FOR IT! (probably unless it says poor or very poor condition.) I'm using this book for college and I don't have to worry about writing on the pages or having to stress about selling it after for a good price.

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2017*

Well worth the read. A collection of late 19th through mid 20th Century thinkers concerned with the role of media in complex industrial society. Some like Edward Bernays who believed the "masses" needed to be manipulated and led (I guess his world view won) and others like members of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory who believed that we ultimately have to emancipate ourselves from unjust and undemocratic exercises of power. Lot to be gleened from a reading of this great collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great textbook for key works
  

*by B***  on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2019*

Great textbook for a general overview of canonical works in the fields of communication and media studies
