Media Edge by David L Altheide
This book challenges social science to address the most important social change since the industrial revolution: the mediated communication order. From the internet to the NSA, he shows how media logic has transformed audiences into personal networks guided by social media.
«Written in a very congenial style, the book provides the reader with stimulating insights on increasingly important issues for media, citizens, and democracy» (Gianpietro Mazzoleni, University of Milan, Italy)
«Altheide argues that we have become swamped by a superfluity of media sources and outlets and so are forced to retreat to the most vivid and memorable – and fearful – of these voices, those that invoke the most simplistic images and solutions. Provocative and convincing – a must-read for anyone interested in our Fourth Estate.» (Erich Goode, Sociology Professor Emeritus, Stony Brook University)
