Channels of Discourse, Reassembled: Television and Contemporary Criticism 2nd Edition

I found this book to be very helpful in getting me up to speed on TV studies as it was in the '80s and early 90's. I would also suggest reading Corner's 1992 book Critical Ideas in Television Studies and Buonanno's new book The Age of Television: Experiences and Theories. Overall, this is worth the 5 or 6 bucks it will cost you to acquire.

exactly as described; fast shipping, too

As a PHD student work is fast and furious I needed this book for a paper I am writing I was all set to wait a week to get the book and to my great surprise and happiness the book arrived in 2 days in great condition although it was a 2nd hand copy. I am very happy with my purchase and I plan to make future purchases

In a critical writing course I taught in Spring 2002, I used Channels of Discourse, Reassembled as the core text for the course readings. The many chapters within are written by the best of the best in the fields of media studies and cultural studies, and the methodologies are presented in an easy-to-read manner which is informative and full of examples and case studies. This is an excellent book for media studies students, as its chapters lay out the basic information they should know about many of the methodologies often used in media criticism.

this was a text book for my class and it is hard to get but its very useful and i am happy i kept it after that class because like i said it is useful

Book shipped very quickly. I received it in better condition than I expected. I would definitely order from this company again.
