(It) is the one single indispensable book that all media students and scholars need to read to understand this vital and growing area of research' - Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 'Mosco has done all students of communication a great service by updating this book. It captures, summarizes and illustrates an important set of voices and arguments, key interlocutors in the ongoing effort to construct a critical theory and analytic of contemporary communication and culture' - Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. '"The Political Economy of Communication" is a contemporary classic of media studies. Now, in this comprehensively revised second edition, Vincent Mosco, among the leading media scholars of our or any time, brings his searing insights and crystal prose to bear on the latest issues and debates of the field! An indispensable resource for researchers, activists, and students everywhere. It is a classic all over again' - Toby Miller, University of California, Riverside. Since publication of its first edition, "The Political Economy of Communication" has established itself as a true classic and one of the most important contributions to the field.

Putting the student at the centre of its updates, this book: expands part one into 5 chapters, giving a map of the definitions and foundations of political economy that is richer in detail and easier to navigate; adds 3 new chapters to explore current trends, from feminism and labour to new media, forms of resistance, media reform and democracy; illustrates throughout how power operates across the 21st century media landscape; explores key issues in how media power intersects with globalization, social class, race, gender and surveillance; and, shows media students why it is essential to understand political economy and its application to media and communication. Combining penetrating theoretical analysis with passionate commitment, Mosco once again gives readers an indispensable introduction to the field.
