Features
Clear, streamlined, and accessible. Significantly briefer than competing texts, Media Essentials addresses all the topics typically covered in introductory mass communication books. From media industries to legal controls, it offers just the right amount of detail to help students make connections and develop media literacy.
Richard Campbells trademark critical approach to media literacy. The text introduces students to five stages of the critical thinking and writing process—description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and engagement—and applies those stages with critical process exercises in each chapter.
An organization that supports learning. Media Essentials offers a chronological table of contents and consistent organization. Each chapter includes a brief history of the topic; a discussion of the evolution of the medium; a look at media economics; and coverage of the medium’s relationship to democracy, media literacy, and convergence enabled by the digital turn.
Learning tools help students master the material. Each chapter opens with an outline highlighting what topics will be covered, while chapter opening vignettes and The Digital Turn and Media Literacy Case Study boxes address relevant topics in greater detail and help students think critically about them. Each chapter concludes with Chapter Essentials, a useful study guide that helps students review material and prepares them for quizzes and exams.
LaunchPad for Media Essentials, Fifth Edition. With features like our acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing to help students learn and retain concepts, a variety of video clips that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, and an interactive e-book, LaunchPad helps students fully engage with the course content—and with the world of mass media. For instructors, LaunchPad offers you everything necessary to quickly set up a course, customize content, prepare presentations and lectures, assign and assess homework, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole. LaunchPad is available to be purchased on its own or packaged with the text at a significant discount, and it can be integrated with campus learning management systems and gradebooks.
New to This Edition
New video clips.
- Half of the suggested video clips accompanying the text’s case studies are NEW to the fifth edition. These thought-provoking clips offer students firsthand experience with important (and attention-grabbing) media texts, from blockbusters like Black Panther to controversial streaming hits like 13 Reasons Why.
- Additional new video clips—on topics as diverse as special effects in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Essence magazine’s brand identity, Amazon’s retail strategy, how streaming is saving the music industry, and Edison sound recordings from a century ago—are spotlighted throughout the text and available with accompanying questions on LaunchPad.
An increased emphasis on hallmark topics in Chapter 1. Chapter 1 has been revised and restructured to better emphasize the topics that serve as foundational themes throughout the rest of the text. Expanded sections provide more detail up front on:
- the cultural approach to media studies
- the critical process behind media literacy, including the five stages of the critical process
- the development of mass media industries over time—particularly during the electronic and digital eras
New and updated chapter openers bring students into the stories of the media with coverage of recent events, including Netflix as a disruptor, Chance the Rapper’s unique approach to the music industry, the ubiquity of smart devices and resulting privacy concerns, the success of eSports, the increasing popularity of podcasts, and public relations problems at the NFL.
New Digital Turn and Media Literacy Case Studies go deeper on current and important media issues like Instapoets, Pokémon Go and augmented reality games, the harassment of journalists around the world, social media fraud, depicting suicide on TV, the business of content creation, and more—each supported by related LaunchPad videos or recommended Web clips.
New and updated coverage includes the latest developments in mass media:
- the changing meanings of the term “fake news”
- the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements in the media industries
- Big-time media mergers between Disney/21st Century Fox and AT&T/Time Warner
- the impact of streaming across the movie, TV, and film industries
Updated coverage is also included in areas like internet and mobile advertising, net neutrality, and the history of hip hop, while cutting-edge examples discuss Instapoet Rupi Kaur, Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, Overwatch and the rise of MMPORGS and MOBAs, and Deadpool 2, among other topics.
