Take care, Steve -- “We are long overdue for a sociological take on how mass media gets produced and consumed in the current digital age. All Media Are Social engages readers with compelling statistics and fascinating stories to highlight how power, culture, and technology shape media. I especially recommend the book’s overview of how traditional media represents race, class, gender and sexuality alongside citizen-generated forms of media resistance and activism.” -Nancy Wang Yuen, Associate Professor of Sociology, Biola University “It’s been years since anyone has written a theoretically sophisticated text in the sociology of media. Bravo to Lindner and Barnard for filling the void. I particularly appreciated their discussions of news.” -Gaye Tuchman, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Connecticut All Media Are Social <https://www.routledge.com/All-Media-Are-Social-Sociological-Perspectives-on-Mass-Media-1st-Edition/Lindner-Barnard/p/book/9780415749541?utm_source=outlook&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=B001341_md1_1au_1aj_d007_authormarketingcollateralpushq12020> <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.routledge.com/All-Media-Are-Social-Sociological-Perspectives-on-Mass-Media-1st-Edition/Lindner-Barnard/p/book/9780415749541?utm_source=outlook&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=B001341_md1_1au_1aj_d007_authormarketingcollateralpushq12020&data=02%7C01%7Csbarnard%40stlawu.edu%7C800bd8dbf4b84030c59608d7d72bfac8%7Cbb31816d91e742198acbd6c0e715eb0c%7C1%7C0%7C637214456224394923&sdata=mXCHuG6PBcwoypxKmeFY75zPXlpSy6CqK2IuMnN83PE=&reserved=0> [image: image.jpeg] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Stephen Barnard Associate Professor and Chair Sociology Department St. Lawrence University Email: sbarnard@stlawu.edu Phone: 315-229-5499 Web: http://www.stephenrbarnard.com/ Author: Citizens at the Gates: Twitter, Networked Publics, and the Transformation of American Journalism <https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319904450> ; *All Media Are Social: Sociological Perspectives on Mass Media <https://www.routledge.com/All-Media-are-Social-Critical-Perspectives-in-the-World-Today-1st-Edition/Lindner/p/book/9780415749541>* [image: image.jpeg] By Andrew M. Lindner, Stephen R. Barnard >From TV to smartphone apps to movies to newspapers, mass media are nearly omnipresent in contemporary life and act as a powerful social institution. In this introduction to media sociology, Lindner and Barnard encourage readers to think critically about the power of big media companies, state-media relations, new developments in journalism, representations of race, class, gender, and sexuality in media, and what social media may or may not be doing to our brains, among other topics. With strong emphases on theory and methods, Lindner and Barnard provide students and general readers alike with the tools to better understand the ever-changing media landscape.
