The Media Of Mass Communication 2006 by John Vivian (2005, Updated, Package)

Clear and easy reading, modern, colorful layout makes it fun and not boring to read. As usual, like most journalism books, it is biased to the left of center. This is either something to like or dislike depending on your point of view. This book gives you a clear understanding of where journalism has been and where it's at now.

This book receives a good recommendation from me, a self taught internet journalist, freelance writer, and soon to be blogger. Instead of taking the university course, I purchased this book on eBay to save money and to continue teaching myself. Not only would a university course cost hundreds of dollars, but I'd have to sit and listen to a biased instructor. This way, I only have to read past the bias real fast.

You will learn how powerful the media has been in our lives. It will also become quite apparent to you that mass media has changed. The big three networks are no longer in charge of what you get to hear. The Internet changed all that.

Seriously, it's a great book. Buy it.
