V.
P. Terin. Mass Communication: A Western Experience Study. Moscow,
2000.
The book deals
with the media developments and their research history
in the West, mostly in
the U.S.A., as well as the present-day media expansion and
globalization realities.
Western
media culture is treated here within an interdisciplinary approach, in
terms of sociology, social psychology, cultural and political studies.
The
book emerged as an extension of the author's long-term involvement in
the worldwide communication realities.
Mass
communications, mass culture, and their social, cultural, and
psychological impact are examined
in relation to the survival and development problems faced by Russia
in the globalization context.
