About the Book

A full-color interdisciplinary exploration of how media and mass communication shape society and how students can take control of their media futures.

Today's students have a world of knowledge at their fingertips and no longer need books to list names and dates. What they need is the story of how everything fits together and the critical tools to take charge of their place within that story.

David T. Z. Mindich's The Mediated World charts the story of media as it has shaped human life and as it infuses every aspect of our modern existence. Mindich's engaging narrative style focuses on concepts and real-world contexts to promote the media literacy students need to understand their personal relationships with media. Empowered as media consumers, creators, and curators, students realize their responsibility to work within the vast world of media to create more positive and productive futures.

The second edition of this text brings historical media and overarching themes to life for students. Each chapter opens with a contemporary vignette that meets students in the current moment before encouraging them to consider the past. "Application" sidebars suggest practical activities that allow students to delve deeper into topics while "Reflection" boxes encourage students to think critically about their own media use.

With a strong emphasis on media literacy that treats students as media stakeholders who have a vested interest in understanding its workings and effects, Mindich's text is the perfect book for a generation of students looking to take charge of their futures in this mediated world.

New to the Second Edition:

  • New chapter-opening vignettes connect with students in the current moment before welcoming them to consider the past.
  • New Chapter 8, "Representation and the Lives that Matter in the Media," encourages students to think critically about which people get to be heard and which are overlooked.
  • New Chapter 13, "Hot and Cold Video Games," critically explores a powerful media force in students' recreational lives.
  • Expanded discussions on current cultural, political, and technological references, engaging with controversies.
