Critical review uncovers multidimensional shifts in contemporary mass communication, highlighting evolving content convergence, practitioner roles, and broader structural ecosystems.
Neil Thurman’s Media Change delivers powerful insights into the rapidly evolving domain of contemporary media of mass communication. Providing early on a useful definition of media, Thurman asserts three meanings of media. These are converging content types, the people, such as reporters, journalists, etc. who work in the mass communication arena, and the wider media ecosystem, including regulators, owners, and the like. Additional context is provided by way of an explication of the substantial history of media change.
