STUDIES IN COMMUNICATION General Editor: John Fiske

Recent years have seen rapid developments in communications and the media. The possibilities and problems which such developments present us with have affected a number of disciplines and led to new understanding of the links and parallels between them. This series introducés the student to the broad field of study which is covered by the term communication studies, and which includes aspects of psychology, sociology, criticism, semiotics and linguistics as well as the study of popular culture and the media themselves.
Each book covers the most important work in a particular area, introducing the main authorities, theories and methods of approach, while at the same time suggesting topics and methods by which readers may further their own studies.
