The website provides resources for the critical analysis of popular culture in the US, including the impact of that culture beyond national borders. Resources include sites on various forms of popular culture, including music, film, television, advertising, sports, fashion, toys, magazines and comic books, and the medium in which this message moves, cyberculture.
The site focuses on issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, cultural imperialism and censorship, as shaped by and reflected in various mass media.
This site also includes sections that introduce and give resources for four main types or elements of popular culture analysis: production analysis, textual analysis, audience analysis, and historical analysis (of the first three dimensions as they change over time).
Also included are links to online pop culture courses, to journals treating popular culture, to some other key sites providing pop cultural analysis, and to media activist organisations that work to bring social justice critiques to mass media.
