大众传播理论：基础、延展与未来

　　A01#本书是最新的大众传播学教材，吸纳了国际传播学界最新的理论和研究成果，比以前的版本更加重视前沿问题，比如媒介角色研究、传播的全球化、受众接受问题、媒介行为的评价等。本书的最大特点是媒介理论放在大众传播理论的中心位置。它按照历史的线索对大众传播理论进行了权威的介绍，描述了大众传播理论两大主要流派——经验学派和文化批判学派的产生和发展过程，对这两种学术传统是如何支持媒介文化运动的发展进行了总结性陈述，同时提出了一种将二者结合起来的新的媒介传播理论。本书的作者是两位很出色的美国传播学教授。巴兰（Stanley J.Baran）在广播电视和电影研究方面获过很多奖项。戴维斯（Dennis K.Davis）博士是媒体研究的教授，多次获美国的传播学教学奖。这本书的叙述方式和思维逻辑独到、内容表述上简单洁明晰、体例也很新颖，每一章都提供相关的“重要人物及其著作”介绍。本书适合作为新闻传播专业的大众传播学课程的核心教材或参考书，对广大新闻从业人员也不失为一本很好的案头书。我们推出这套原版教材就是希望学习者能够原汗原味地去理解和把握西方传播学的精髓和妙处。
