It also uses a unifying theme to transmit information about how the media have evolved the media progression theory developed by John Merrill and Ralph Lowenstein. This concept traces how the various mass media move through three stages of evolution--the elitist, popular, and specialized stages. A timeline showing various media at diffent stages in their evolution appears in each of the media chapters."--[vii] Walkthrough ER -
