business and communication schools. Widely adopted (some 185
universities in the U.S.) and translated into five other languages, the
book was called “the Mercedes Benz of media texts” and is known for its
intellectual rigor and presentation of original theoretical material, including
work on the dependency theory. Original formation of material and the
first text to link communication theory with empirical research and
industry assessments. As one reviewer said, "this is more of
a treatise than a text, but works well as both."
