Book Description

The Mass Media Landscape is a compilation of lessons to help audiences understand the evolution of U.S. mass media and disruptive media technologies. It includes overviews of media law, media ethics and media literacy.

Chapters contain interactive exercises, review quizzes, writing assignments, and multimedia content. Following are four points of emphasis:

  • Media literacy extends beyond the ability to identify misinformation and disinformation or follow reliable news sources.
  • A crucial part of media literacy is understanding mass media history.
  • Media literacy skills help both consumers and professionals create and publish reliable content, including on social media, in an ethical manner and with an understanding of long-term effects and potential consequences.
  • All students, not just those who seek careers in the industry, benefit from learning about media history, media law, media ethics, and media literacy.
