Reviews

'There is a huge need for comparative studies of the world's media audiences. Building on the work of Shakuntala Banaji on South Asia, Dr Roy's important new book provides fascinating insights into the public and private practices of television watching in contemporary Bangladesh. Richly theorized, this study usefully complicates our understanding of the sites of media practices, including both news consumption and news production. Highly recommended!' Nick Couldry, Professor of Media, Communications and Social Theory, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK, and author of Media Society World and Media Rituals
