Description

The eighth edition of The Media Handbook continues to provide a practical introduction to the media planning and buying processes.

Starting with the broader context in which media planning occurs, including a basic understanding of competitive spending and target audiences, the book takes readers through the fundamentals of each media channel, leading to the creation of a media plan. Throughout, concepts and calculations are clearly explained. This new edition reflects the changes in how people consume media today with:

a new chapter on how audiences are defined and created
reorganization of the media channel chapters to cover planning and buying together
expanded coverage of digital formats in all channels
added discussion of measurement
completely updated data and examples.

The Media Handbook, Eighth Edition is the ideal text for courses in media planning and buying in advertising/communication departments.

Supplemental online resources for both students and instructors are also available. For students, there is a list of key media associations and chapter overviews. To assist in their course preparation, instructors will find lecture slides, sample test questions, and new sample media planning exercise scenarios with accompanying practice spreadsheets.
