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.
