Trade Review

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2011.

"This book is particularly powerful because, like rhetoric itself, it is not limited to any one discipline. Simonson uses cultural studies and rhetoric as energizing points of departure for rehabilitating and reinforcing the idea and social form of mass communication."--Rosa A. Eberly, author of Citizen Critics: Literary Public Spheres


"This volume of original thinking should prompt the same in its readers. Highly recommended."--Choice
"An original and often intriguing way of defining mass communication over time."--Communication Research Trends
