Media Literacy - International Student Edition

Tenth Edition


February 2021 | 504 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc

In this media-saturated world, we must learn how to navigate through the overwhelming flood of information so that we can avoid the risks and maximize its potential to help us. Media Literacy shows you how: Drawing from thousands of media research studies, author W. James Potter explores the key components to understanding the fascinating world of mass media.

In this thoroughly updated and revised Tenth Edition, Potter presents more discussions of digital media and numerous examples and facts to help you understand how the media operate, how they attract your attention, and how they influence you. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises to help you apply the chapter material to everyday life and engage in a step-by-step process to increase your own media literacy.
