Pressestimmen
“This is an excellent read which gives both conceptual and empirical analysis on the mediatization of higher education. The key strength of the book is the rich data used by Stack to challenge the claimed neutrality of rankings. … This helps readers to understand her arguments, even if readers do not have a background in media education. This book is relevant not only to communications professionals, but also policymakers, university staff, educators, as well as university students.” (Dorothy Ferary, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, June 05, 2019)
