[Bilimsel Haber] New book on Internationalizing Media Studies

[Salvatore Scifo]

Internationalizing Media Studies
Edited by Daya Kishan Thussu

The explosion of transnational information flows, made possible by new 
technologies and institutional changes (economic, political and legal) 
has profoundly affected the study of global media. At the same time, the 
globalization of media combined with the globalization of higher 
education means that the research and teaching of the subject faces 
immediate and profound challenges, not only as the subject of enquiry 
but also as the means by which researchers and students undertake their 
studies.

Edited by a leading scholar of global communication, this collection of 
essays by internationally acclaimed scholars from around the world aims 
to stimulate a debate about the imperatives for internationalizing media 
studies by broadening its remit, including innovative research 
methodologies, taking account of regional and national specificities and 
pedagogic necessities warranted by the changing profile of students and 
researchers and unprecedented growth of media in non-Western world.

‘For far too long, media studies has been dominated by people who could 
only research and write in English. The result has been effortless 
extrapolations from very specific realities (the US and the UK) to 
explain the entire, rich (and poor) world of the media. That is no 
longer sustainable, as Daya Thussu and his contributors show us in this 
dynamic and profound book. A way forward for all.’ - Toby Miller, 
Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of California, 
Riverside, USA

‘Globalization poses dramatic new challenges for media studies, 
challenges that most scholars have failed to take up. This impressive 
collection of essays ranges across disciplines, methodologies, and 
geographical contexts to suggest important new directions for research 
and pedagogy in the field of media studies.’ – Professor Michael Curtin, 
Director of Global Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

‘This is a timely and pertinent reflection on media going global by 
leading scholars in the field, probing and critical.’
- Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Mellichamp Professor of Global Studies and 
Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
