Description: Since it was first published in 1987 Mass Communication in Canada has become a highly successful introduction to the vast subject of mass communication. In this greatly expanded and thoroughly rewritten third edition Lorimer and McNulty explore the interplay of media, culture, and politics; law and policy making; the role of journalists; media content; and the brave new world of advancing communications technology.

For the first time, articles from newspaper and other media are included to bring issues to life and illustrate the nuts and bolts of mass communication. A second added feature is a glossary of terms used in the study of communication.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [374]-388) and index.
