Rezensionen
In this comprehensive, ambitious and timely book, Burgess, Marwick and Poell present to us the social media paradigm a distinctive and potentially transformative moment in the history of media and communications, perhaps also in the world s cultural, economic and political life. Grounded in rigorous intellectual and empirical work and committed to international, multi-and inter-disciplinary endeavor, this book provides a much-needed basis for critical understanding and future research on the social shaping and social consequences of today s social media paradigm.
