Produktinformationen zu „Twitter (ePub)“
Twitter has become a household name, discussed both for its role
in prominent national elections, natural disasters, and political
movements, as well as for what some malign as narcissistic
"chatter." This book takes a critical step back from
popular discourse and media coverage of Twitter, to present the
first balanced, scholarly engagement of this popular medium.
In this timely and comprehensive introduction, Murthy not only
discusses Twitter's role in our political, economic, and
social lives, but also draws a historical line between the
telegraph and Twitter to reflect on changes in social communication
over time. The book thoughtfully examines Twitter as an emergent
global communications medium and provides a theoretical framework
for students, scholars, and tweeters to reflect critically on the
impact of Twitter and the contemporary media environment. The book
uses case studies including citizen journalism, health, and
national disasters to provide empirically rich insights and to help
decipher some of the ways in which Twitter and social media more
broadly may be shaping contemporary life.
