Originally published as Media Studies: The Essential Introduction, this bestselling textbook has been re-titled AS Media Studies: The Essential Introduction to reflect how the text is particularly suited for students of the new AS Level Media Studies syllabi.

This fully comprehensive and easy-to-use textbook covers all aspects of Media Studies for students at the pre-university level. No prior subject knowledge is necessary and theoretical understanding will develop from the illustrative texts used thoughout the book. Students are introduced step-by-step to the skills of reading and analysing media texts and can explore a broad range of media institutions and technologies, ideologies, and codes of practice. Sections on Research and How to Do It, Study Skills, Preparing for Exams and Coursework and Production give students the confidence to approach every conceivable part of an introductory media course.AS Media Studies: The Essential Introduction has been written by three teachers directly involved in writing and examing college-level syllabi in Media Studies who are all aware of the needs of pre-university students.
