- a glossary of nearly a hundred key terms in media and communication</P>
- additional pedagogical features, such as break out boxes and end of chapter summaries </P>
- more contemporary media examples</P>

The Fifth Edition takes full account of recent theory and research, particularly in relation to new media, globalization and topics related to cultural production (such as advertising, fashion and merchandizing). In this way, McQuail's Mass Communication Theory remains the most integrated and comprehensive introduction to the field.</P>
