“We are long overdue for a sociological take on how mass media gets
produced and consumed in the current digital age. All Media Are Social
engages readers with compelling statistics and fascinating stories to
highlight how power, culture, and technology shape media. I especially
recommend the book’s overview of how traditional media represents race,
class, gender and sexuality alongside citizen-generated forms of media
resistance and activism.”
    -Nancy Wang Yuen, Associate Professor of Sociology, Biola University

“It’s been years since anyone has written a theoretically sophisticated
text in the sociology of media. Bravo to Lindner and Barnard for filling
the void. I particularly appreciated their discussions of news.”
    -Gaye Tuchman, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Connecticut

By Andrew M. Lindner, Stephen R. Barnard
>From TV to smartphone apps to movies to newspapers, mass media are nearly
omnipresent in contemporary life and act as a powerful social institution.
In this introduction to media sociology, Lindner and Barnard encourage
readers to think critically about the power of big media companies,
state-media relations, new developments in journalism, representations of
race, class, gender, and sexuality in media, and what social media may or
may not be doing to our brains, among other topics.  With strong emphases
on theory and methods, Lindner and Barnard provide students and general
readers alike with the tools to better understand the ever-changing media
landscape.
