Jim henman april wine. In this essay I would like to discuss media and communications issues, types of media research and base the discussion upon the two following sources: “Approaches To Media” by Newbold and “McQuail’s Mass Communications Theory” by McQuail. Before going into the depth of the discussion I would like to introduce these two authors and their works.Chris Newbold is the professor of Mass Communication theory course; his major area of research interest is the exploration of film as the type of mass communication.
Mass Communication Theory
According to him the interest presents not only the content of films but also their context. By the context he means the social, economic, historical and industrial environments of production and the various ways of perception, that could be both historical and contemporary because the film products remain with us for some time stored on video and DVD’s. The key areas of research interest for him are: early cinema to Eisenstein, Propaganda during the World War II, The 1960’s New Wave Movement, International films and others.A big interest here is the way the research methodologies develop in the study of not only film content but also in the reception and context.
He puts a lot of importance on the extent to which traditional social science methodologies are of use in the study of Film as Mass Communication theory, and the development of triangulation methodologies. Other areas of interest include all aspects of the moving image, particularly, media education and the study of television and video. The special interest is also in video production, local community and education, local cable provision and satellite.Approaches to Media presents in one accessible volume a wealth of influential sources charting the major different approaches to the study of media and mass communication. For each of the major traditions of media research, the volume provides exemplifying extracts from seminal’ or otherwise significant works, which reflect the historical development of each tradition and which are conceptualized by the editors’ opening chapters for each section. The opening section includes a variety of different perspectives on the field as a whole, written by leading exponents at different periods of its development.
The major traditions are identified here under the concepts of mass society, functionalism, pluralism, media effects, political economy, the public sphere, media professionals, cultural hegemony, moving image, feminism, and the new audience research.This volume illustrates and exemplifies the variety of ways in which the mass media have been researched over the past fifty or more years. It provides extracts from seminal works and relates them to developments in the field as a whole and to later works.
