"Media Events in a Global Age" provides an authoritative and innovative overview of a well-established but still fast-developing field within media and cultural research: media events. The essays have been organised around the developing themes - both conceptual and empirical - in this expanding field, and taken together they will give readers a view of the 'state of the art' debates in this increasingly high-profile area of media and cultural research. The collection is international in both its scope and scholarship, including well-known scholars from Europe, North America and Asia, as appropriate for a phenomenon that nowadays can only be understood on a 'global level'.
