《重访灰色地带：传播研究史的书写与记忆》从那些被有意收编或无意误读的"灰色地带"入手，结合新发现的材料和语境，重新诠释传播学经典文本，以颠覆传播学术史主流叙事的霸权，寻找新的视角，解放传播研究的想象力。本书从知识社会学的角度重写传播学术思想史，在对拉斯维尔、哥伦比亚学派、芝加哥学派、中国传播研究的史前史、批判学派的失踪、本土化话语等问题的研究上，均推翻了目前的定论。
作为一个贴近意识形态的舶来学科，中国传播学的经验在诸社会科学中并不特殊。对传播学术史的反思也可为中国当代知识社会学的研究提供一个典型个案。

This book re-visits how we think about communication and power in the global era. It takes stock of the last fifty years of scholarship, maps key patterns and concepts and sets an agenda for theory and research. The book addresses such questions as: How are national and cultural identities re-fashioned and expressed in the global era? How can we best understand the emergence of multiple and sometimes antagonistic modernities worldwide? How are political struggles fought and communicated on the local-national-global nexus? How do we integrate emerging media environments in global communication studies? Bringing together essays from a range of internationally renowned scholars, this book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students on Media and Communication Studies courses, particularly those studying globalisation and global media.

Media Borders, Multimodality, and Intermediality is a collection of sixteen essays dealing with theoretical questions concerning the relations between various forms of art and new media. Intermediality and multimodality have become buzzwords over the last decade, but surprisingly little effort has been made to circumscribe theoretically what media and modes actually are and how the notions of intermediality and multimodality are related. The aim of the volume is to illuminate these very basic queries in order to facilitate communication and theoretical cross-fertilization over the borders between the aesthetic disciplines, media and communication studies, semiotics, linguistics, and other research fields. The essays deal with combinations, integrations, mediations and transformations of old and new media. Theoretical issues, centred on the core question of media borders, are foregrounded, but the volume also includes a wide range of case studies, including medieval ballads, biopoetry, Lettrism, television, field guides, music, film, digital media and performance.

《批判与重构：英国媒体与传播研究的马克思主义传统》试图整体把握英国学界关于媒体和传播的多元研究，以书写学术史的方式，突出“马克思主义”对学者及其研究本身的双重影响，并全面总结勾勒英国媒体与传播研究的学术地形图

Amid the hand-wringing over the death of "true journalism" in the Internet Age—the din of bloggers, the echo chamber of Twitter, the predominance of Wikipedia—veteran journalists and media critics Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel have written a pragmatic, serious-minded guide to navigating the twenty-first century media terrain. Yes, old authorities are being dismantled, new ones created, and the very nature of knowledge has changed. But seeking the truth remains the purpose of journalism—and the object for those who consume it. How do we discern what is reliable? How do we determine which facts (or whose opinions) to trust? Blur provides a road map, or more specifically, reveals the craft that has been used in newsrooms by the very best journalists for getting at the truth. In an age when the line between citizen and journalist is becoming increasingly unclear, Blur is a crucial guide for those who want to know what's true.

Based on the work of media historian, James Curran, "Narrating Media History" explores British media history as a series of competing narratives. This unique and timely collection brings together leading international media history scholars, not only to identify and contrast the various interrelationships between media histories, but also to encourage dialogue between different historical, political, and theoretical perspectives, including: liberalism; feminism; populism; nationalism; libertarianism; radicalism; and, technological determinism. Essays by distinguished academics cover television, radio, newspaper press and advertising (among others) and illustrate the particularities, affinities, strengths and weaknesses within media history. Each section includes a brief introduction by the editor, with discussion topics and suggestions for further reading, making this an invaluable guide for students of media history.

Written by two leading social and cultural historians, A Social History of the Media provides a masterful overview of communication media and of the social and cultural contexts within which they emerged and evolved over time. The authors retrace the complex and multiple paths of development, exploring the interrelations between communication media and other aspects of social life.
The scope of this book is far-reaching, exploring the history of the different means of communication in the West from the invention of printing to the Internet. It deals with each constituent element in what came to be called 'the media' and discusses, among other things, the continuing importance of oral and manuscript communication, the rise of print, the relationship between physical transportation and social communication, and the development of electronic media. The book concludes with an account of the convergences associated with digital communication technology, the rise of the internet and the phenomenon of globalization.
Avoiding technological determinism and rejecting assumptions of straightforward evolutionary progress, this book brings out the rich and varied histories of communication media. It will be an ideal text for students in history, media and cultural studies and journalism, but it will also appeal to a wide general readership

《受众分析》是一本系统性、综合性较强的理论专著，也是迄今为止西方传播研究界全面总结和探讨受众问题的一本著作。
全书分为九章，作者首先对受众这一概念及其演变历史进行了梳理；接着全面总结和分析了各种受众理论和受众研究的主要传统、方法和结果，这些理论和研究中的受众观念，这是本书的一大特点。
在描述和解释各种受众类型的基础上，作者联系实际分析了受众研究中社会科学研究方法与人文方法之间的异同，并就媒介到达问题、受众的形成和保持问题、媒介的社会应用等实际问题进行了探讨，这是本书的第二个特点。
此外，作者还从受众和媒体两个角度对传受关系进行了探讨，力图客观反映现实，不矫枉过正，也不偏执一端，这是本书的第三个特点。
最后，作者对蓬勃兴起的新媒体、特别是跨国传播和交互式传播之于受众群体的影响进行了评估，并对迅速变化的环境中受众概念的相应变化进行了评述，与本书开头对受众概念的历史梳理相呼应，
作者采用大量资料围绕受众、受众研究、受众实践做文章，既反映过去的概貌，又阐明目前的思考，并展望未来的发展。该书思路清晰、结构合理、资料丰富、论说简明，对于大众传播和媒体研究领域的研究者和学生们来说具有比较重要的启发和参考作用。

本书对以中国为首的互联网审查制度，以政治学的角度进行了讨论。

凯瑟琳·麦克切尔、文森特·莫斯可编著的《信息社会的知识劳工》一书收录的论文汇集了新近知识劳工在新自由主义经济语境中的劳动分析，分别讨论了计算机动画、电影、图书馆、报纸等产业的知识劳工的劳动如何在全球经济一体化进程中彻底商品化，这是国际学界针对传播产业知识劳工如何遭遇新自由主义市场经济剥夺的批判前沿研究。关于传播与信息技术、劳动和社会发展之间关系的讨论和辩论是本土传播研究的薄弱环节，本论文集的出版为中国学界提供了批判传播研究经典的问题意识和分析路径。

纵观信息技术的发展历程，基本上海15年会有一个大的范式转移。1980年是个人电脑，1995年是互联网，2010年则是云计算。我们正在进入下一个创新周期，会出现前所未有的整套新工具和新应用。就如同此前的大型机和个人计算机一样，这个新的平台所支持的服务将彻底改变我们的生活。
从全球来看，越来越多的信息以越来越快的速度被传送到越来越多的人手中，无论是宽带网、无线通信还是智能终端的普及都在推动这一趋势。开放的信息是民众所求，正如在互联网上流传多年的那个著名的口号所言：“信息渴望自由” (information wants to be free)。在《信息渴望自由》中，作者胡泳从新传播技术人手，探讨了新媒体对普通公众、网络舆论、知识生产。世界秩序、公共外交等领域的全新影响。《信息渴望自由》中既有对新媒体影响下社会万象的深入思考和剖析，也有对人类未来数字化生存状况的预言与展望，运思新颖，文笔凝练，读之令人耳目一新。

The book publishing industry is going through a period of profound and turbulent change brought about in part by the digital revolution. What is the role of the book in an age preoccupied with computers and the internet? How has the book publishing industry been transformed by the economic and technological upheavals of recent years, and how is it likely to change in the future? This is the first major study of the book publishing industry in Britain and the United States for more than two decades. Thompson focuses on academic and higher education publishing and analyses the evolution of these sectors from 1980 to the present. He shows that each sector is characterized by its own distinctive ‘logic’ or dynamic of change, and that by reconstructing this logic we can understand the problems, challenges and opportunities faced by publishing firms today. He also shows that the digital revolution has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the book publishing business, although the real impact of this revolution has little to do with the ebook scenarios imagined by many commentators. Books in the Digital Age will become a standard work on the publishing industry at the beginning of the 21st century. It will be of great interest to students taking courses in the sociology of culture, media and cultural studies, and publishing. It will also be of great value to professionals in the publishing industry, educators and policy makers, and to anyone interested in books and their future.

《传播政治经济学》一书1996年出版后，学界普遍高度评价该书的深厚的跨学科视野和扎实的理论归纳，作者广泛听取反馈意见，2009年出版修订版，不仅案例材料得以及时更新，而且全书的理论胸襟和讨论范畴更加开阔和深透，详细阐述了政治经济学的分析工具和理论积累路径，且以此解析当今全球化、数字化、商业化的传播产业、传播制度和传播现象背后权力扮演的角色。传播作为外来学科，急需引进美国实证主义之外的具有理论和历史脉络的传播政治经济学流派的经典论著，本书将传播政治经济学放在具体的社会关系和社会现状的历史进程中考察，依据社会正义的标准加以评价，是目前全球传播学界公认的批判传播理论的标志性作品。
