'Vincent Mosco's heavily revised and thoroughly updated Political
Economy of Communication is a masterpiece. (It) is the one single
indispensable book that all media students and scholars need to read
to understand this vital and growing area of research.'
Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

'Mosco has done all students of communication a great service by
updating this book. It captures, summarizes and illustrates an
important set of voices and arguments, key interlocutors in the
ongoing effort to construct a critical theory and analytic of
contemporary communication and culture.'
Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

'The Political Economy of Communication is a contemporary classic of
media studies. Now, in this comprehensively revised second edition,
Vincent Mosco, among the leading media scholars of our or any time,
brings his searing insights and crystal prose to bear on the latest

researchers, activists, and students everywhere. It is a classic all
over again.'
