Mediated Discourse as Social Interaction

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the intersection of media studies and social interactionist discourse analysis, challenging the traditional sender-receiver model in media studies. It proposes an integrated theory that examines media discourse as a form of social interaction, highlighting the relationships between journalists, newsmakers, and audiences. With a focus on ethnographic and textual analysis of news media, it presents a coherent methodology for studying how news media contributes to the social construction of identity, supported by numerous concrete examples.
