"Written for students to engage in how we communicate with one another, how we understand our world, and how media shapes us.

Today's students have a world of knowledge at their fingertips and no longer need textbooks filled with names and dates crammed into a single volume. The Mediated World takes as its starting point that readers want a compelling story, a good read, an intelligent analysis, and a new way of looking at the media revolutions around us. It is designed as a lifeline to help students interpret the sea of media washing over us all. The Mediated World is written for students who want to understand how we communicate with one another, how we process our world, and how the media shapes us. Written in an engaging and narrative style that focuses on concepts and real-world contexts, this book helps students recognize their own personal relationship with media and gives them the tools to push back against the media forces. One of the primary goals of the Mediated World is to empower readers by giving them a thorough understanding of the media and by teaching them how to both counter the force of the media and use this force for their own ends. Readers of this book come to recognize that they have the potential to be not only active consumers of media but producers of it on a scale never seen before.
