Title: If You Have To Take A Class...
Review: I'm using this book in an online class on mass communication and I have to admit that I actually enjoy reading this book.It covers every area of the media and its a very simple and informative read. 'Simple' used in this context means that I don't have to re-read a paragraph two or three times, just to make sense of what the author is trying to convey.The chapters are pretty short, and the book has lots of nice, bright pictures (that's my inner child speaking). Each chapter begins with stories about a media personality and that's always interesting. I end up saying "I didn't know that," a lot to myself.What I really like about the book is that its very up to the moment. It even mentions Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.So, if you have to take a class, especially an online class, it's nice to have a textbook that's so user friendly.
