I need to use Marshall McLuhan theory on Media and I have been told that there are a few prominent scholars who have written books and articles, building on McLuhan’s work and theory “The Medium is the Message”.

Could anyone explain the acapulco typology?

My research is to investigate the best ways of dealing with sexual harassment at workplace and the sample universe is female journalists in electronic media. Which theory best suits the topic?

Communication theories

Hello,

I'm interested in so-called "activity theory" (also know as cultural-historical activity theory). I know it's been mostly used in psychology and studies focused on human-machine interactions.

I think it could have a powerful tool for my research focused how teens use and discuss social media platforms.

I'm therefore looking for sources having a sociological approach, linking activity theory and :

-Media studies

-Reception/use studies

-social media studies

-Teens

-Sociology in general

-....

I'm also interested in discussing activity theory, its advantages and issues.

Thanks in advance !

I'm looking at news values and gate-keeping communication theories

I am doing a thematic analysis of advertisements in a migrant-oriented magazine. Thanks in advance for more leads on related literature that critically evaluates advertising and media. On my list so far are Kellner, Croteau, and a few other subject-specific researchers.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Lots of people use various media at the same time for various gratifications. Could there be any negative influence on this?

I am studying “AL JAZEERA AND THE ARAB SPRING - Framing of the Uprisings in Egypt and Bahrain on the Al Jazeera English and Arabic websites”.

I need a good academic book which has done a similar study on, let’s say CNN covering a conflict in the Middle East so that I can imitate it.
