Essential Readers in Contemporary Media and Culture
The Essential Readers in Contemporary Media and Culture Series format is designed to be a state-of-the-art synthesis of the best scholarly thinking on a significant subject in television/film/media and culture. This intention doesn't preclude original insights, but the main purpose of the book series is to produce the best available starting point for readers to acquire an in-depth overview of the topical parameters of the chosen subject as well as a thorough cross-section of its critical themes and issues. These books should be written in a clear, accessible style directed towards general educated readers. Also contributions to The Essential Reader Series can be either single-authored or edited collections, just as long as the broad-based state-of-the-art approach is followed.
