Professor Janet M. Cramer's unique thematic approach to mass communication covers history, theory, and social change while challenging us to think creatively about how the mass media affect us. This is a thoughtful, stimulating and readable book. - Bill Huntzicker, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Mass Communication, St. Cloud State University Finally, a media history textbook that takes a socio-cultural approach from beginning to end. Cramer deftly explores the roots of our mass media and the ideas and cultural forces that have shaped them. Plus, she does so in a "student friendly" way yet avoids dumbing down the material.- Thomas B. Connery, Professor of Communication and Journalism, University of St. Thomas
