The 'Watson and Hill Dictionary" has long been a classic of its kind, a 'must' for university and college book lists and both students and teachers of communication. This new edition takes into account recent developments in communication while at the same time retaining historical perspectives. There are over 50 new entries as well as substantial updates in areas such as Intercultural communication, public relations and marketing communications. Major events, such as the 'war on terror' and the military occupation of Iraq, have raised issues concerning the gathering and presentation of news. Journalism in all its forms has been put on the spot, censored and pilloried. The transmission of information and images has, through the availability of computers and mobile phones, become open province for members of the public to make their own news. At the same time, governments are legislating to rein in hard-won liberties. Who can remember what RIPA is all about; what are PSYOPS and SLAPPS; what did the Hutton Report have to say about the BBC? What you don't know can sometimes damage your health. The "Dictionary of Media and Communication" responds to a vital need of all citizens in the 21st century to be media literate by developing a better understanding of the contexts in which interpersonal, group, national and international communication takes place.
