Abstract
This article reviews the contemporary state of British media studies, concentrating on those areas where links may be forged with leisure studies. The separate development of media studies and leisure studies is initially noted. Discussion is organized under five headings: ownership and control, form and content, the audience, theories and new technology. Each contains a summary of questions and areas of concern common to media and leisure studies. The conclusion argues the need for more middle-range concepts to develop specific links between media and leisure studies.Keywords
