Description

Explore the deep connection between mass communication and drug regulation in this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how popular drug cultures and mediated drug education have evolved alongside changing technologies. By looking at the history of drug cultures, the text explains how new media platforms, such as social networking and video file-sharing sites, change the way drugs are represented in society. The research traces the development of formal drug regulation in the United States and the United Kingdom starting from the late nineteenth century. It highlights how mass communication technologies have been linked to control regimes since their inception. Using original archive research, the author reveals official fears regarding drug use and how these concerns are shaped by the media. This work provides a detailed look at the symbolic frameworks that define our understanding of drug culture in the digital age.
