Now Media provides a comprehensive view of the development of media and the subsequent advancements into ‘now’ digital media. Each chapter is organized chronologically, starting with print, radio, and television, then moving to the ‘now’ media of today, and finally exploring possibilities for the media of the future. Topics include the rise of social media, uses of personal communication devices, the film industry, virtual reality, digital advertising, and the innovations that laid the groundwork for ‘now’ media. This fully updated fifth edition features new chapters on video games and the business of, and careers in, ‘now’ media. Discussions on rapidly evolving ‘now’ media stakeholders such as influencers and YouTubers are included, and attention is paid to AI throughout the book.
This book remains a key text and trusted resource for students and scholars of digital mass communication and communication history alike.
