{"product_id":"media-and-society-power-platforms-and-participation","title":"Media and Society: Power, Platforms, and Participation","description":"How do media platforms organise social life?\nHow do media empower or disempower our identities?\nHow do we understand the impact of algorithms?\nHow are media audiences produced and managed?\n\nMedia \u0026amp; Society introduces the role of the media in social, cultural, political and economic life, unpacking the increasing entanglement of digital media technology with our everyday lives.\nIt explores the relationship between meaning and power in an age of participatory culture, social media and digital platforms. An age where we both create and consume content, and where we both give and gain attention – translating our social lives into huge flows of data.\nAssociate Professor Nicholas Carah shows how a critical approach to power helps us not only to understand the role media play in shaping the social, but also how we can become critically informed media citizens ourselves, able to participate and be heard in meaningful ways.\nMedia \u0026amp; Society expertly introduces all the key concepts and ideas you need to know, and then puts theory into practice by tying them to contemporary case studies. From using Ghostery to track how your personal data is being collected, to exploring misinformation on social media via Youtube, to the reality of internships and freelancing in today’s digital media industry.\n\nIt is essential reading for students of media, communication and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1529707951\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1529707951.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carah, Nicholas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
