"New Media, Communication, and Society by Mary Ann Allison and Cheryl A. Casey is an extremely thoughtful, comprehensive, and accessible resource for students, teachers, general readers, and anyone else engaged in one of the key challenges that we all face: making sense of the contours and consequences of the media environment that we live in. The authors concisely survey a wide range of theoretical, historical, and practical material that is essential to understanding and navigating contemporary media, and ask and help us answer many of the most significant media-related questions that we need to grapple with. At a time when we most need it, they provide a detailed, reliable, and invaluable overview of what we are doing, what is being done to us, and what we can do to keep our inevitable immersion in media from being unintelligible and overwhelming."-Sidney Gottlieb, Professor of Communication and Media Studies, Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut
