This volume is timely because it appears at a time of rapid change in the world of mass communications and in the wake of new digital technologies." "Drawing on a range of theories, The Media in Wales explores the reasons why media, culture and communications are central to everyday life in Wales in the twenty-first century. Detailed consideration is given to the development of cinema, the press, radio, television and the Internet. In each case, a historical background is combined with a contemporary overview which covers factors such as ownership and control. In addition, each section discusses a range of key critical issues, including national identity, language and geography." "The Media in Wales places Wales and its media in a broader national and UK political and industrial context. In Wales the emergence on the National Assembly as a centre for debate about cultural policy has coincided with the major overhaul of media legislation embodied in the Communications Act 2003. This volume sets these changes in context and explores their implications for Wales." "The Media in Wales is an essential text for local and international readers with an interest in the role of the mass media in Wales and the wider UK."--BOOK JACKET.
