New Book | Social Media: A Critical Introduction by Christian Fuchs

Now more than ever, we need to understand social media - the good as 
well as the bad. We need critical knowledge that helps us to navigate 
the controversies and contradictions of this complex digital media 
landscape. Only then can we make informed judgements about what's 
happening in our media world, and why.

Showing the reader how to ask the right kinds of questions about social 
media, Christian Fuchs takes us on a journey across social media, 
delving deep into case studies on Google, Facebook, Twitter, WikiLeaks 
and Wikipedia. The result lays bare the structures and power relations 
at the heart of our media landscape.

This book is the essential, critical guide for all students of media 
studies and sociology. Readers will never look at social media the same 
way again.
