About This Textbook

Media Studies 101 is the open educational resource for media studies studies in New Zealand, Australia, and Pacifica.

We have constructed this text so it can be read in a number of ways. You may wish to follow the structured order of 'chapters' like you would in a traditional printed textbook. Each section builds on and refers back to previous sections to build up your knowledge and skills. Alternatively, you may want to go straight to the section you are interested in -- links will help guide you back to definitions and key ideas if you need to refresh your knowledge or understand a new concept.

It works for a quick look at certain elements of media studies. As a whole book, it doesn't work. The format = chapter chronology, won't make sense for undergrads. I could see instructors using a few chapters here and there to supplement th...„
