How to Do Media and Cultural Studies has inspired thousands of students and researchers to understand why studying media texts, industries and audiences is so important. It is an ideal companion for anyone conducting a research project.

On Screen Rivals explores the relationship between the film and television industries in Britain and America, charting the changes in the relationship between them and their relative status in the cultural field. Building on historical scholarship, the text offers a new paradigm for theorising the media, analysing the way in which media are structured within the milieu of 'cultural technologies'. A wide range of films about television are discussed including such classics as Network and Videodrome.

The Media in Britain brings together a range of distinguished and newer scholars to provide a comprehensive and engaging review of contemporary debates in media studies. The first and second parts discuss the principal media industries in Britain before looking at the impact of media policy on their structure and activities. The final part encompasses a range of analyses of diverse media and cultural texts, selected for their intrinsic interest value and to illustrate the wealth of approaches and methods which can be adopted with a view to interpreting and analyzing the contemporary British media scene.
