<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Today's consumers have unprecedented choice in terms of the technologies and platforms that access, produce, and distribute media content. The development and overlap of television, the internet, and other media technologies is fragmenting and empowering media audiences more than ever. Building on his award-winning book, <em>Audience Economics</em>, Philip M. Napoli maps the landscape of our current media environment and describes its challenge to traditional conceptions of the audience.</p><p>He examines the redefinition of the industry-audience relationship by technologies that have moved the audience marketplace beyond traditional metrics. Media providers, advertisers, and audience measurement firms now deploy more sophisticated tools to gather and analyze audience information, focusing on factors rarely considered before, such as appreciation, recall, engagement, and behavior. Napoli explores the interplay between political and economic interests in the audience marketplace and their effect on audience evolution. He recounts the battles waged between stakeholders over the assessment of media audiences and their efforts to restrict the functionality of new technologies. As Napoli makes clear, the very meaning of the media audience continues to evolve in response to changing technological, economic, and political conditions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...very concise, tightly argued and very timely volume...--Communications and Strategies<br><br>No college-level media or sociology collection should be without this.--Midwest Book Review<br><br>The book provides an excellent overview of how new media technologies have changed the patterns of audience behavior.Journal of Communication--Journal of Communication<br><br>...its clarity, simplicty, and systematic narrative make it appealing and useful...--Giacomo Poderi "Teachers College Record "<br><br>...provides new entrees into understanding how socially constructed definitions of audiences are changing.--Grace Jackson-Brown "Journalism and Mass Communication Education "<br><br>a good combination of a critical approach to audience measurement as well as a thorough review of the development of audience information systems.--Louisa Ha "AEJMC "<br><br>Philip M.
