{"product_id":"media-and-development-martin-scott-9781780325507","title":"Media and Development","description":"Media matters. From encouraging charitable donations and delivering public health messages to promoting democratic participation and state accountability, the media can play a crucial role in development. Yet the influence of the media is not always welcome. It can also be used as a mechanism of surveillance and control or to disseminate hate speech and propaganda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow then should we respond to the growing importance of the media - including journalism, radio, television, community media and social media - for poverty and inequality? The first step is to acquire an informed and critical understanding of the multiple roles that the media can have in development. To help achieve this, this book provides concise and original introductions to the study and practice of communication for development (C4D), media development and media representations of development. In doing so it highlights the increasing importance of the media, whilst at the same time emphasising the varieties, complexities and contingencies of its role in social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe broad and interdisciplinary focus of this book will make it attractive to anyone with an interest in media, communication, development, politics and social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780325509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780325507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.84h x 5.17w x 0.53d","brand":"Martin Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937965670655,"sku":"9781780325507","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e7cd81c7-86c9-4008-99f1-a2c1f0406ce9.jpg?v=1681432949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/media-and-development-martin-scott-9781780325507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
