Media and Power
Bettina Fabos, Christopher R. Martin, and Catherine Helen Palczewski
This handbook guides students through concepts, content, and exercises that help them develop media literacy by understanding media and power. The authors want students to not only gain the ability to critically analyze the languages and discourses – textual, visual, audio, and code – that people use to create and interpret media content, but also to understand the overarching context: media possess immense power in contemporary societies around the world.
The current version is a preview of some chapters. Remaining chapters are forthcoming in 2025.
