Comparing Media from Around the World discusses the fundamental elements of media systems and shows how they are used in eight sample countries (France, Sweden, the UK, the USA, Mexico, China, Ghana, and Lebanon). Unlike other texts, it is organized according to media elements, with comparative discussions of all eight countries within each chapter. This helps students make connections and comparisons between the countries and allows them to apply the concepts to other countries not discussed in the text.
