Revolutions in Communication by Prof. Kovarik is a critically acclaimed survey of media history with a third edition underway. It is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and directly from the publisher, Bloomsbury. The book is a social and technological history that explores four major epochs of the mass media through the technologies that characterized their development — printing, imaging, broadcasting and digital media. The historical narrative in Revolutions in Communication centers around technological change — a common thread that unites global media history. This approach also provides an alternative to nationalistic and professionally oriented narratives that have guided media history in the past. For more information, see The book's web site.
Mass Media & Environmental Conflict with Mark Neuzil, published by Sage in 1996, is an award-winning history about the process of social change embodied in the news coverage of issues like smoke abatement, millenary massacres, wilderness preservation and leaded gasoline. The book is an historical exploration of the long forgotten history of the conservation movement through mass media as well as a critical examination of the media’s role in fostering social change.
