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.

Understanding Media Psychology is an authoritative introductory textbook to the growing field of media psychology. Providing an overview of topics in the field, it summarizes key concepts and theories as well as considering the importance of media psychology in today?s society.
The second edition of this bestselling textbook has been fully updated to reflect the changing landscape of media psychology. The new edition features a brand-new chapter on news and political media, as well as increased focus on AI and new forms of social media. It covers core areas such as positive media psychology, audience research, the effects of gaming, violence, advertising, and pornography, critically engaging with contemporary discussions around propaganda, fake news, deepfakes, and how media and health psychology interacted during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Written by a team of expert authors, this book will help readers to understand the structures, influences, and theories around media psychology. Particular care is also given to addressing the interaction between issues of social justice and the media, as well as the effects media has on both the members of marginalized groups and the way those groups are perceived. A student website and instructor resources provide further ways to engage with the content and support teaching and learning.
Containing a range of pedagogical features throughout to aid teaching and student learning, including vocabulary and key terms, discussion questions, and boxed examples, this is an essential resource for media psychology courses at the undergraduate and introductory master?s level globally.
