This handbook on Mediatization of Communication uncovers the
interrelation between media changes and changes in culture and
society. This is essential to understand contemporary trends and
transformations. “Mediatization” characterizes changes in
practices, cultures and institutions in media-saturated societies,
thus denoting transformations of these societies themselves. This
volume offers 31 contributions by leading media and communication
scholars from the humanities and social sciences, with different
approaches to mediatization of communication. The chapters span from
how mediatization meets climate change and contribute to globalization
to questions on life and death in mediatized settings. The book deals
with mass media as well as communication with networked, digital
media. The topic of this volume makes a valuable contribution to the
understanding of contemporary processes of social, cultural and
political changes. The handbook provides the reader with the most
current state of mediatization research.
