Edición de la obra Media and Health

"How are health matters presented by the mass media? How accurate are the messages we are receiving? This book demonstrates how health messages in popular mass media are important influences in our lives, and that they are not neutral. The author demonstrates the importance of mass media for our understanding of the experience of illness, health and health care, and brings together the latest thinking in the field of media studies and the sociology of health and illness."--Back cover.
