Communications

by Denis Mcquail

Overview

First published in 1985. At a time when much attention is directed to the immense technical power and capacity of new means of communication it is worth reaffirming that the consequences for relationships of social power deserve rather more attention. The nature of communication as a field of study and its relationship to sociology is the subject of this study.
