Volume 3 of the Mass Communication Review Yearbook provides a much-needed overview of significant developments and trends in mass communication research over the past several years. In the bestselling tradition of previous volumes, the third volume presents a board array of both original and recently published materials (emphasizing theory, communication effects, and political communication) as well as numerous articles by noted European and Asian scholars highlighting the international dimension of communication research. New to this volume are several follow-up pieces on key debates featured in the previous volumes-plus additional sections on television and on the intersection of media and leisure studies.
