Social Media: A Critical Introduction
Social media are an integral part of contemporary society; having changed the way we communicate, use information and understand the world, we should now ask critical questions about social media and dig deeper into issues of ownership, power, class and (in)justice. This book equips readers with a critical understanding of the complexities and contradictions at the heart of social media's relationship with society.

In the fast-changing world of social media, it is imperative to have a text that changes with the times. With several new chapters covering Big Data, Trump, the challenge from China, platform capitalism and more, this thoroughly revised third edition of Social Media does just that, even as it retains a strong commitment to critical theory, democratic values, and digital activism. --Vincent Mosco (12/2/2020 12:00:00 AM)
