Media Events In A Global Age, Paperback Book, By: Nick Couldry, Andreas Hepp, Friedrich Krotz

This volume assembles an estimable range of critical analyses of one of the most important mediated artifacts of the modern world-the media event. The authors challenge the construct, extend its usefulness, expand its theoretical basis and application, and examine media events in a far larger and richer context than ever before. Students of global media today are well served by this superb collection of essays.
