Power, Media, Culture is embedded in an analytical perspective that is needed today more than ever in order to understand the functioning of our complex cultural and media systems. It is destined to become a reference work for those interested in delving into the debates arising from the performance of traditional and new media, cultural and communication policy-making, and sociocultural practices in the new digital landscape. This book is a timely and useful roadmap for understanding the relationship of communication and culture with power in the current phase of globalized capitalism, whose main driver lies in the communication sector.
