The text links communication to social theory, media and medium theory, and the mediation of social worlds, then moves to messages, meanings, and discourse. It further addresses contingency, reflexivity, and postmodernity, including perspectives on information, the global village, and popular culture. The final part focuses on communication and public interests, covering mass communication, public interest, electronic networks, social relations, and communication
