Global communication

This collection looks at global communication from many angles, covering the economic, cultural, legal, social and political questions that shape it. Its contributors approach the subject through the history of the field, the theories used to explain it, and the directions it may take in the future.

The essays are written by scholars working in mass media, journalism and international studies, so readers get a range of viewpoints rather than a single argument. Taken together, the pieces offer a broad overview for anyone wanting to understand how information and media move across borders.
