<p><b>A broad and accessible introduction to national and transnational media</b></p> <p><i>Transnational Media: Concepts and Cases </i>provides a clear and engaging overview of media communication from a global and a region-based perspective.

Chapters organized by geographic region offer instructive pedagogical features—including case studies and essays, and illustrations, maps and charts—that strengthen understanding of distinctive and emerging practices in the production, distribution, and consumption of media products.</p> <ul> <li>Explores a wide range of global media topics, infrastructures, cultures, and political-economic climates</li> <li>Written in an engaging, relatable, and easy to understand style</li> <li>Covers major aspects of journalism and various forms of entertainment media</li> <li>Organized by regions of the world to reflect a global perspective</li> <li>Includes newly-written case studies by international scholars from each region</li> </ul> <p>Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in comparative media analysis, international media and communication, and related areas of study, <i>Transnational Media: Concepts and Cases </i>is an indispensable resource for colleges and universities that are internationalizing their curriculum to meet the needs of an increasing globalized world.</p>
