Abstract

Mediatization is a theory. Or, perhaps more accurately, mediatization is a word that brings together scholars who are engaged in an international conversation about the role of communication technologies in relation to social and cultural change. The scholars who have contributed to this volume have been actively engaged in this conversation.
