Communication as Culture

<p>James W. Carey maintains that communication is not merely the transmission of information; reminding the reader of the link between the words communication and community he broadens his definition to include the drawing-together of a people that is culture. The revised edition of this classic text includes a new critical foreword by G. Stuart Adam that explains Carey's fundamental role in transforming the study of mass communication to include a cultural perspective and connects his classic essays with contemporary media issues and trends. This edition also adds a new complete bibliography of all of Carey's writings.</p>
