Review
"I believe the strongest aspect of this [text] is its clarity. It is very easy to read, treats major points, and repeats concepts from chapter to chapter as appropriate. I believe that it would be very easy for students to follow and take notes from." Justin P. West, Holyoke Community College
"The focus of this text is very good for a basic electronic media-type course. I particularly like the then, now, and future approach. It covers the basic concepts of such a class in a clear [and] organized way." William J. Adams, Kansas State University
"The authors use appropriate language for an introductory survey class text. They provide simple, useful explanations and examples to enhance the understanding of some complex issues. Students will be able to easily read the text." Douglas L. Sudoff, Northwest Missouri State University
"The writing style is very accessible to students. Even though I already knew the content, I found it interesting. Students will like reading this text." John Chapin, Penn State University
"I liked the dispersal of the new technology information in each chapter as opposed to adding a new chapter with updated material in it. This material is more properly placed with its relevant topic that in a separate chapter." Stewart Blakley, Brenau University
"The chapter on Audience Measurement and Sales has the best history of the ratings systems in any survey media book I have read in a teaching/professional career that dates back to 1954..." Bennett Strange, Louisiana College
