About the Glasgow Media Group
For over thirty years the purpose of our work has been to promote the development of new methodologies and substantive research in the area of media and communications. The Media Group consists mostly of researchers and academics who have worked in the Media Unit based in the Sociology department of Glasgow University, as well as broadcasters, journalists and others who have worked with us.
The Media Group has developed techniques to link the analysis of media content with the processes by which audiences receive and interpret messages and these have been widely used by researchers in Britain and abroad. The work of the Media Group has also generated interest across a range of disciplines and well beyond the normal academic boundaries of media/communications studies.
We have obtained a series of major academic awards and research contracts. We have also developed close links with other academic groupings such as the MRC, Medical Sociology Unit at Glasgow University and the Centre for Statistics in Medicine and the Department of Psychiatry at Oxford University ( in jointly funded projects for the ESRC and Nuffield.) We have also presented our work at conferences both in Britain and abroad. These contacts have been invaluable in the development of new academic initiatives.
The Media Group also has an extensive list of published books, articles and papers on a wide range of subjects. Selected downloadable book chapters and articles are available in our Archive section. All our downloads are free.
