"Media Change is a comprehensive academic textbook delving into the dynamic changes that have altered the media landscape in recent decades. Catering to advanced students of Media Studies and related disciplines, the book's twelve chapters dissect pressing media topics, ranging from the role of AI and automation in news production to the intricate efforts by democratic states to curb underage access to online pornography. Each chapter stands independently, offering original conceptual and historical perspectives on its specific theme. These chapters not only provide insights into their individual topics but also serve as illustrative snapshots of broader media transformations. From shifts in content consumption to alterations in production and regulation, the book captures the multifaceted evolution of media. The introductory and concluding chapters weave together lessons about media change, exploring not only the "what" and "how" but also the nuanced resistance, uneven progress, occasional reversals, and the influence of non-technological factors. Drawing examples from both Europe and the US, the book offers original takes on underexplored subjects, making it relevant to markets on both sides of the Atlantic"-- Provided by publisher.
