Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book introduces journalism and media through an integration of theory and practice, drawing on current Media Studies theory as well providing practical instruction on how to write journalistic pieces.
MoreLong description:
As media forms continue to converge and the line between entertainment and news becomes harder to define it is important for people working in media and journalism to have knowledge of the theories and practices that inform media as a whole. This book is designed to be an authoritative and easy-to-follow introductory text that does not abstract journalism or PR from the rest of the media but rather considers and interrogates their role in media, through theory and practice.
This is a book about the relationship between media and journalism and how a study of one can inform the study of the other. This book integrates media theory with journalistic practice, providing a complete introduction to media and journalism by drawing on current theories of the media as well as providing practical instruction on how to write journalistic pieces that put these theories into practice.
