Class Publishes "Critical Media Studies: Student Essays on The Wire"

The HBO series The Wire completed its critically acclaimed broadcast run in 2008.

In the years since, interest in the show hasn't waned, and if anything its significance is even clearer. Widely heralded as either the best or one of the best television series of all time, much has been written on The Wire - if you doubt Eddie, it's just a Google search away.

Eddie's guests today contributed to a 600-page book of essays on the show, but from a new perspective. The Baltimore-based drama was the subject of Professor Mary Dalton's Critical Media Studies class. She tasked her students with authoring and publishing a book - Critical Media Studies: Student Essays on The Wire. Eddie spoke with students Connor MacKenzie and Ally Harper about their writing.

Critical Media Studies: Student Essays on The Wire is available now on Amazon.com in physical and digital versions.
