Ramos, Lori
New Jersey Journal of Communication, v8 n1 p46-55 Spr 2000
Reviews the major scholarship of Harold Innis, Eric Havelock, Marshall McLuhan, Jack Goody, Walter Ong and Elizabeth Eisenstein, as they focused on the development of writing systems, and later, printing. Discusses how their theoretical frameworks are central to understanding media ecology, an emerging field of interdisciplinary study for understanding media, communication, and culture. (SC)
