Book Description

Media and communication have become ubiquitous in today’s societies and affect all aspects of life. On an individual level, they impact how we learn about the world, how we entertain ourselves, and how we interact with others. On an organisational level, the interactions between media and organisations, such as political parties, NGOs, businesses and brands, shape organisations’ reputation, legitimacy, trust and (financial) performance, as well as individuals’ consumer, political, social and health behaviours. At the societal level, media and communication are crucial for shaping public opinion on current issues such as climate change, sustainability, diversity, and well-being. Media challenges are widespread and include mis- and disinformation, the negative impact of algorithms on our information diets, challenges to our privacy, cyberbullying, media addiction, and unwanted persuasion, among many others. All this makes the study of media and communication crucial. This book provides a broad overview of the ways in which people create, use, and experience their media environment, and the role of media and communication for individuals, organisations, and society. The chapters in the book were written by researchers from the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. ASCoR is today the largest research institute of its kind in Europe and has developed over the past 25 years into one of the best communications research institutes in the world.|Cutting edge research on the digital society, concise, broad and thorough at the same time, internationally renowned authors.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Communication research into the digital society adopts a unique approach to media effects research, focusing on how individuals uniquely respond to media content and emphasizing the importance of digital competence for young people in digital society. -Aldi Fatriadi, Alem Febri Sonni, Sudirman Karnay, and Nur Annisa, Communication, issue 2024,

Given the plurality of topics, methods, and theoretical backgrounds covered over its 16 chapters, the book does not only prove the diverse research conducted by ASCoR’s members but also becomes a relevant overview of the state of the art in the broad field of communication. The book illustrates the evolution of communication research over the last 25 years, showing how this institute has managed to influence those trends, but also how its capacity to navigate them has been a key to its growth over the years., -David Blanco-Herrero, Communication & Society, 2025
