Document Summary

Media and the city: mass media: centralized, edited, ad-based, territorially-based, one-way, traditional elements of media, new media: dispersed, customizable, user generated (anybody can contribute), ubiquitous, multidirectional, more interactive. Info = mass: comm = new, both analog and digital.

Quantitative approach: mathematical, statistical analysis, generalizable across places, objectivity, neutrality (?, spatial analysis, multiple regression (different methods)
