By calling into question essentializing, habitual divisions between ‘radical’ and ‘mainstream,’ the authors develop a compelling case for reconsidering the terrain of media practice as hybrid and contingent. Essential reading for more fully understanding the complexities of today’s media landscape.» (James F. Hamilton, Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georgia)<br /> «This impressive collection breaks new ground on the theory and practice of media interventions – from sophisticated cyberactivism to conservative campaigns, from policy interventions to state strategies. As the first comprehensive overview of the complex field of media interventions, it is an essential resource for scholars, students and practitioners alike.» (Tanja Dreher, Lecturer in International Media and Communication, University of Wollongong)
