     'Mediated Discourse as Social Interaction' makes an explicit link
     between media studies and social interactionalist discursive research
     where previously the two fields of study have been treated as separate
     disciplines.

     This text presents an integrated theory illustrated by ample concrete
     examples, bringing together the latest research in these two fields.
     It offers a critique to the sender-receiver model implicit in media
     studies, and argues for an analysis of media discourse as social
     interaction, on the one hand among journalists and newsmakers as a
     community of practice, and among readers and viewers as a spectating
     community of practice on the other. The book also argues for a
     coherent and interdiscursive methodology for the ethnographic study of
     the role of the news media in the social construction of identity and
     is based on a considerable body of ethnographic and textual analysis
     of both print and television news media.

     The theory of mediated discourse presented in this volume will be of
     great interest to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates studying
     media studies, sociology of language, discourse analysis,
     interactional sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication and
     applied linguistics. It will also be welcomed by scholars and
     professionals involved in research in these areas.
