A much-needed book, Media Narratives and Popular Music shows us how meanings attached to music are shaped by and contested within the media. The book, full of leading scholars, is sure to be essential reading for students of popular culture long into the 21st century. * Matthew Worley, Professor of Modern History, University of Reading, UK * The academic intersection between media and music has finally been given its rightful prominence for consideration with this thoughtful collection which seeks to note, consider and open discussion. The twelve in depth examples of such junctions are carefully cosseted via three key themes - identity, genre and narratives, with contributions from across disciplines and countries. I warmly welcome this timely addition and thoroughly engaging read. * Paula Hearsum, Principal Lecturer, University of Brighton, UK, and member of IASPM *
