Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition integrates perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities, focusing on methodology as a strategic level of analysis that joins practical applications with theoretical issues.

The Handbook comprises three main elements: historical accounts of the development of key concepts and research traditions; systematic reviews of media organizations, discourses, and users, as well as of the wider social and cultural contexts of communication; and practical guidelines with sample studies, taking readers through the different stages of a research process and reflecting on the social uses and consequences of research.

Updates to this edition include:

• An overview of the interrelations between networked, mass, and interpersonal communication.

• 
  
  

• A new chapter on digital methods.

• 
  
  

• Three chapters illustrating different varieties of media and communication research, including industry–academic collaboration and participatory action research.

• 
  
  

• Presentation and discussion of public issues such as surveillance and the reconfiguration of local and global media institutions.

• 
  
  

This book is an invaluable reference work for students and researchers in the fields of media, communication, and cultural studies.
