Summary: "This book provides a critical and analytical assessment of recent developments, debates and research on news, social media and news organizations 2.0. Throughout all the chapters, the main argument, which is drawn from empirical evidence, is that news production is largely biased while news consumers are mostly confined to their filter bubbles despite the widespread proliferation of news on social media. This is an important field of research due to its direct impact on democracy and politics, especially with the increasing popularity and influence of bots and clickbaits on SNS. This book focuses on three main areas: content (news), audiences or prosumers (networked audiences), and producers (news organizations & journalists). The latter are not only consumers of news but also producers of data (posts and comments) and metadata (clicks) who exhibit their engagement with news organizations and their news productions in different ways"-- Provided by publisher.
