This book brings together leading scholars to interrogate the enduring and evolving relationship between journalism, mass communications, and the built environment. From the emergence of the first newspapers, media buildings have provided their producers and consumers with a definable shape and served as key nodes in the urban geography of communications. At the same time, the changing form and function of media buildings has both reflected and reified transformations in modern journalism and mass communication.

Résumé
This book brings together leading scholars to interrogate the enduring and evolving relationship between journalism, mass communications, and the built environment. From the emergence of the first newspapers, media buildings have provided their producers and consumers with a “definable shape” and served as key nodes in the urban geography of communications. At the same time, the changing form and function of media buildings has both reflected and reified transformations in modern journalism and mass communication.
