Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 3 : 1982 ISBN 9780803918283

Description

Volume 3 of the Yearbook features a section on political communication, and another on the problems of international communication. 'The third volume of the Yearbook, rich in its diversity of viewpoints, contributors, and issues addressed and containing full lists of references, is a valuable source of information for anyone involved in the growing interdisciplinary field of mass communication.' -- EBU Review, Vol 65 No 2, March 1984

Volume

v. 4 : 1983 ISBN 9780803920163

Description

Volume 4 of the Yearbooks continues its presentation of the year's best work in communication studies from America, Europe, and the rest of the world. In what ways are these essays the best? Each selection in this volume either integrates current work, presents new and valuable findings, or represents important new areas of research. This volume is distinguished by sections such as: feminism and the media; or media performance and state structure: both highlight the overlap between communication research and the study of social issues. `...this volume is well worth examining and probably should be in the library of active researchers and those wishing to keep abreast of developments somewhat outside the mainstream communication journals. The fact that the collection is not exclusively North American in orientation is a particularly strong point in its favor.' -- Journal of Communication, Summer 1984

Volume

v. 5 : 1985 ISBN 9780803924994

Description

Volume 5 of this biennial series introduces a new editorial team, who have successfully balanced their desire for change against the need for continuity. The major change has been to structure the volume around the distinction between macro and micro studies. Macro studies relate to media and society, while micro relate to media and individuals. The distinction is a useful one because it looks at the questions addressed, and at the unit of analysis -- society or the individual.
