Dr Paško Bilić and Dr Thomas Allmer (University of Paderborn, Germany) will present the book Rethinking Media and Communication: A Critical Sociological Lens, published in 2026 in the Studies in Critical Social Sciences series by DeGruyter Brill. The book brings together theoretical insights from sociology, political economy, media studies and related disciplines. Various authors analyse how communication is embedded in wider structures of economic and political power. By highlighting these mutual connections, the book deepens our understanding of communication as both a product and a driver of systemic inequalities in contemporary societies. The presentation will take place on April 29 from 18:00 to 19:00 CET (online). It is organised as part of the Book Talk discussion of the Section for Political Economy of the Media of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR). The discussion will be led by Dr. sc. Mandy Trȍger (University of Tȕbingen, Germany).
