Synopsis: Presenting the new edition of their undergraduate-level textbook, Croteau (sociology and anthropology, Virginia Commonwealth U.) and Hoynes (sociology, Vassar College) discuss the social components of the mass media and highlight the tension between constraint and action. Their analysis is based on a social model that sees media as being part of multidimensional process of complex interaction between audiences, technology, medial message, and media industry, all operating within the wider context of the social world.
