Recensioner i media

The Cultural Industries is justly celebrated for many reasons, but what I find most compelling is the civic and moral passion that infuses every page. While never polemical, Hesmondhalgh makes clear why the making of culture matters and what’s at stake. With each new much-awaited edition, it is this quality that ensures the book’s timeless relevance.
