This book is essential reading for all media students and researchers - and for anyone interested in getting to grips with the ways in which media is becoming a progressively more pervasive, intimate and powerful part of life in the 2010s.

There are over one and a half billion mobile phones used worldwide. This book sets out to integrate an understanding of the mobile media economy (political and cultural), with knowledge of mobile culture and to articulate these with an account of the politics of mobiles (as they relate to questions of media and culture).

Draws on a range of national, regional, and international examples, to explore the new forms of consumption and use of communication and media technology that the phenomenon of mobiles represents. This work examines the implications in contemporary media convergence such as digital photography and mobile internet.
