Media studies is an academic discipline and field of study that deals with the content, history and effects of various media; in particular, the 'mass media'. Media studies draw on traditions from both the social sciences and the humanities, and overlap in interests with related disciplines like mass communication, communication sciences and communication studies. Researchers develop and employ theories and methods from disciplines including cultural studies, rhetoric, philosophy, literary theory, psychology, political science, political economy, economics, sociology, anthropology, social theory, art history and criticism, film theory, and information theory. This book studies key themes of media studies including newspapers, strategic media, censorship, freedom of the press, and protection of sources.
