 The stepping stone of media March 24, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I found Branston and Stafford's Media and Students Book, extremely helpful to me in my first year of studying media studies.
Quoting several different scholars and theorists, to back up some well thought out and well explained ideas behind media.
It was an excellent stepping stone for me and a platform to read more advanced media books, as this one was the foundation or the ground floor of media books, it covers the basics of media.
Overall a good read and highly reccommended.
 More emphasis on convoluted langauge than realy teaching you October 14, 2005

Having achieved an A* in English Language at GCSE level, i would say that my reading skill was better than average however i have extreme difficulty trying to understand this book. It appears to me that the writers have attempted to impress everyone with their clearly anqituated grasp of the english language instead of simply laying out the information in an easily accesible manner. In order to revise from this book i have to first translate it which is of absolutely no use to me. So if your looking for a decent media studies book i suggest another option as i am clearly unimpressed with this book.

I got this for my AVCE Media class, and I basically haven't used it much. Very worth it for extra reading, or going over stuff, but hasn't covered much past what the tutor has given me. This is probably because you are given what you need in class, in class. Still worth a buy to revise from at home
An excellent introduction to complex media studies concepts September 27, 2000

This is a textbook that goes further than any similar volume has ever done. It introduces many complicated and often confusing topics in straightforward terms, which are demonstrated using comprehensive case studies. It also covers a broad range of media-related issues widely studied at degree level, and is structured into well ordered, intuitive chapters. The new chapters in the second edition, particularly that in regard to the internet, are of an excellent standard.
