International Media Research offers a rigorous and critical review of key approaches and concerns that have recently defined the field of media research. In this clearly argued collection of essays, the contributors analyze and reflect upon dominant themes and debates that have made media research an increasingly important element of cultural theory. The volume begins with a critical evaluation of the work of the leading media scholar, Elihu Katz, and continues with an exploration of the relationship between media studies and adjacent disciplines: cultural studies and gender and sexuality. Contributors drawn from Britain, America, Canada and Belgium consider the relationships between media research and media policy in different national and international contexts. Focusing on the European Union, East-Central Europe, North America and Latin America, chapters assess the impact of social, economic and political circumstances on policy debates and the shaping of the research agenda. The final chapter adopts a transatlantic perspective in tracing and analysing the history of the media's role in reporting war.

Hablar de ética en los medios de comunicación, en un momento histórico de crisis moral de valores, no resulta tarea sencilla, por lo que es imprescindible subrayar la importancia y actualidad de una deontología en este ámbito. Hoy en día, tanto estudiantes como profesionales de las ciencias de la información se enfrentan con problemas éticos que exigen tomar decisiones desde el punto de vista moral. Es lo que los anglosajones denominan making ethical decision. A tal efecto, este libro aporta fundamentales contenidos y reflexiones para una correcta resolución de los dilemas éticos en el ejercicio profesional del periodismo y de la comunicación audiovisual. Se abordan temas de actualidad y aplicación práctica como son, entre otros, el tratamiento ético de informaciones sobre violencia y terrorismo; la publicidad engañosa e información subliminal; la ética de los anuncios televisivos; la influencia de la televisión en los niños; la ética del fotógrafo en prensa y los paparazzi; la deontología del contertulio radiofónico; la importancia de la calidad de los contenidos en televisión; la telebasura y la responsabilidad social del cineasta.

Conceptualizing how digital artifacts can function as a frontier mediated by technology in the geographical, physical, sensory, visual, discursive, and imaginary, this volume offers an interdisciplinary analysis of digital material circulating online in a way that creates a digital dimension of the Mexico-U.S. border. In the context of a world where digital media has helped to shape geopolitical borders and impacted human mobility in positive and negative ways, the book explores new modes of expression in which identification, memory, representation, persuasion, and meaning-making are created, experienced, and/or circulated through digital technologies. An interdisciplinary team of scholars looks at how quick communications bring closer transnational families and how online resources can be helpful for migrants, but also at how digital media can serve to control and reinforce borders via digital technology used to create a system of political control that reinforces stereotypes. The book deconstructs digital artifacts such as the digital press, social media, digital archives, web platforms, technological and artistic creations, visual arts, video games, and artificial intelligence to help us understand the anti-immigrant and dehumanizing discourse of control, as well as the ways migrants create vernacular narratives as digital activism to break the stereotypes that afflict them. This timely and insightful volume will interest scholars and students of digital media, communication studies, journalism, migration, and politics.
