The #1 introduction to mass communication text, Media & Culture: Mass Communication in a Digital Age, is at the forefront of the ever-changing world of this dynamic course, addressing the most current issues of our time—including the proliferation of fake news, the #metoo movement, the use and abuse of social media platforms, consumer privacy, and the role media plays in our democracy. The Twelfth Edition of Media & Culture digs deeper than ever before into the worldwide reach and ethical implications of today’s media by highlighting global issues, such as foreign interference in social media and the effect of international box office revenue on decisions made by the domestic film industry,and ethical considerations, such as the fight against sexual harassment across the media industries and the coverage of recent mass shootings, throughout each chapter.
This is an exciting and tumultuous time in the media. Developing an understanding of mass communication and becoming a critical consumer of the media is vitally important, especially now as the media are under siege and the lines between fact and fiction are being continuously blurred. Media & Culture reaches students where they are and puts the media industries into perspective historically and culturally, helping them to become more informed citizens who use critical thinking and media literacy skills in their daily lives, even as they are bombarded by information, in a variety of ways and via a variety of media.
The Twelfth Edition of Media & Culture digs deeper than ever before into the worldwide reach and ethical implications of today’s media by highlighting global issues, such as foreign interference in social media; augmented reality gaming around the world; the effect of international box office revenue on decisions made by the domestic film industry; newspaper and television consumption around the globe; China’s dominant media corporations; new bias around the globe; and international media research; and ethical considerations such as the coverage of recent mass shootings; #MeToo and the fight against sexual harassment across the media industries; gender problems in digital gaming; breaking through Hollywood’s race barrier; contemporary politics reviving interest in classic novels; and public relations and "alternative facts".

Navigating today’s hyper-fast media landscape
The #1 introduction to mass communication text, Media & Culture: Mass Communication in a Digital Age, is at the forefront of the ever-changing world of this dynamic course, addressing the most current issues of our time—including the proliferation of fake news, the #metoo movement, the use and abuse of social media platforms, consumer privacy, and the role media plays in our democracy. The Twelfth Edition of Media & Culture digs deeper than ever before into the worldwide reach and ethical implications of today’s media by highlighting global issues, such as foreign interference in social media and the effect of international box office revenue on decisions made by the domestic film industry,and ethical considerations, such as the fight against sexual harassment across the media industries and the coverage of recent mass shootings, throughout each chapter.

Features
Richard Campbell's hallmark critical approach to media literacy introduces students to five steps of the critical thinking and writing process—description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and engagement—and applies those stages with critical process exercises in each chapter and in LaunchPad.
Campbell’s storytelling narrative and cultural approach immerse students in the stories and events that have shaped the media and that have had an impact on our shared culture.
Fascinating and revealing part-opening infographics draw connections between different mass media. These readable, eye-catching stats and facts help students visually explore the data of the media industries and easily digest information such as on what platforms Americans watch movies and television, and how the next generation is consuming formerly print media such as books, newspapers, and magazines.
Timely digital coverage explains the convergence happening throughout the media industries, and how these changes continue to affect the media world.
Built around the most common issues faced in the classroom, LaunchPad for Media & Culture, Twelfth Edition, gives students everything they need to prepare for class and exams, including digital tools linked directly to the eBook, like our acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize the content, prepare presentations and lectures, assign and assess homework, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.
New to This Edition
LaunchPad for Media & Culture, Twelfth Edition, now delivers a comprehensive, easy, assignable media and assessment package with a new video assessment program, currency updates, new activities, a career unit, and instructor support. New and updated features:
- A new video Assessment program helps instructors bring the most current video into their courses and provides students with the space to practice their vitally important critical analysis skills. The program is simple to use with superior commenting, recording, and rubric functionalities.
- Twice-annual currency updates will appear at the base of the LaunchPad table of contents with new information and activities. “In Brief” and “In Depth” content updates for each of the book’s chapters provide fresh new information about the latest developments that have occured in the media since the publication of the latest print edition.
- A new career unit for students interested in a future in media. This will include reimagined and expanded “Digital Job Outlook” boxes as well as the Media Career Guide, 12e.
- A new digital only interactive Extended Case Study, which will only be available in LaunchPad
- Updated LearningCurve and iClicker questions, along with a fully revised set of Instructor resources
- Updated videos and suggestions for video on the web
Expanded global coverage throughout the book allows students to see how media consumers all over the world are interacting with the media. An increase in international examples throughout and a Global Village box in each chapter will help students gain an appreciation and understanding of the global effects of the media.
Expanded ethics coverage helps students develop their critical analysis skills through the examination of various ethical issues involving the media. Current events, such as the recent Cambridge Analytica data breach targeting Facebook users, are addressed both throughout the chapters and in a dedicated Examining Ethics box in each chapter and will help students as they hone their skills in questioning the ethical implications of these events.
Highlighting the importance of and challenges to media during this time of worldwide political upheaval keeps this book current. Topics such as the use of social media in politics, media coverage of mass shootings, celebrities fighting back against sexual harassment in the media industries, and many more will allow students to examine current issues and analyze how these affect both media and our society.
Current media issues are addressed, explored, and analyzed throughout each chapter. These issues include social media fraud in the election, fake news, sexual harassment in the music, film, and tv industries, and more.
For consistency, each chapter now contains one “Media Literacy” box, one “Global Village” box, and one “Examining Ethics” box.
“For myself and my students, the simple truth is that this is the best textbook we have ever used in my 20 years of teaching. This textbook covers the issues of media and culture in both scholarly and down-to-earth ways.” —Hsin-I Liu, University of the Incarnate Word
“It's a well-written, up-to-date book. It successfully walks the line between providing in-depth information and engaging students with fresh examples.” —Richard Craig, San Jose State University
