Informed by political economy, the theory goes beyond the cultural imperialism thesis and the political economy of the media developed for Western contexts. The book offers a comprehensive and nuanced explication of Singapore's print and electronic media. It also critically dissects its culture in an age when media contribute immensely to as well as influence it."--Jacket.
