Making sense out of the unending debate over effects and the relationship between the media and society! This volume raises many questions based on the literature generated by communication scholars and others: What are mass media effects? How do media effects differ from communication effects? Are media effects specific to particular domains--the political or economic arena, for example--or are there broader effects? Can we isolate the media's impact at the individual, group, institutional, societal, and cultural levels? How do we identify, study, verify, and judge media effects?

This highly regarded volume addresses the constantly evolving means by which film, print, and broadcast media attempt to entertain, inform, educate, or otherwise communicate with audiences. The interaction between the media and the audience is influenced by historical, political, economic, and cultural factors. The channel chosen creates both constraints and possibilities. In short, mass media processes offer countless opportunities to explore how messages are formed and how audiences react to media presentations. Readers are alerted to the countless elements necessary for evaluating the mass media.
