The Fifth Edition addresses ongoing changes in mass communications and new developments in mass communications theory. The book also applies communication theories to the mass media with current examples from journalism, broadcasting, advertising and public relations to clarify the concepts. A new chapter on cyber communications explores the influential new medium, using discussions of mediamorphosis, hypertext, multimedia, interface design, Internet addiction and Internet dependency. An extensively rewritten chapter on media chains and conglomerates addresses key developments in the field. The book also includes unique coverage of media uses and institutions, meant as an alternative way to think about mass communication. For readers interested in exploring mass communication theory.

Worst textbook ever. Everything seemed to be all over the place so it didn't end up making much sense sometimes. It didn't seem to explain things nicely either so half the time what you read made little to no sense. The authors jumped all over the place with their ideas starting with one thing the all of a sudden switching to something else. It contradicted itself as well in certain parts so it was difficult to understand what the authors were trying to get at to begin with. Avoid this text at all costs. It was also terribly expensive for no reason.

ارتباطات مثل سایر رشته ها نباید تا این حد به متون قدیم چسبیده باشه. از ما که گذشت. باید واسه بقیه راه رو روشن کرد.
اگه می خواس خروجی این درسا بالا رفتن درک و عمل کردن باشه که باید بگم نیس
روز به روز داره کتابا در سطح بین المللی در حیطه ی ارتباطات ببشتر و بیشتر به روز میشه

Read for a course, quite dry but hey, you learnt random things like the hypodermic needle and spiral of silence :)

کتاب خوبیه اما کامل نیست. به خصوص اونایی که قصد کنکور دادن ارشد ارتباطات رو دارن نباید به همین یه کتاب بسنده کنند.

Some of the studies are quite old, but it is very extensive and it's nice to get an overall picture. Not an easy read, but it is totally worth it.
