Book News Annotation:Sociologists Croteau and Hoynes offer a critical analysis of the
rapidly changing media industry. They examine the influence that
media have on US society, with particular attention paid to the
tension between the industry's quest for profits and a democratic
society's need for media in the public interest. The revised second
edition reflects developments such as recent media mergers and policy
shifts; discusses public debate about media ownership and media
conglomerates; and explores the continuing integration of the
Internet and the impact that changing technologies are having on the
media business.
