Praise for Media Semiotics

"Jonathan Bignell's comprehensive, intelligent and readable introduction to semiotics is ahead of the field in clarity, in its astute use of contemporary examples, and in its openness to both the latest theoretical developments and the criticisms of semiotic theory launched over the last decade by media sociologists." --Sean Cubitt, Liverpool John Moores University
