Neuman, W. Russell

The digital difference : media technology and the theory of communication effects W. Russell Neuman - Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, c2016. - 369 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.



"Although the shift from one-way to two-way mass communication - from broadcasting to social networking - represents a revolutionary restructuring, it does not necessarily mean the public is better informed, more culturally or politically polarized, or more engaged in public life. Practices, institutions, and norms are in mid-transition and potentially subject to our individual and collective choice. The book is designed to connect the best of recent scholarship with these pressing policy questions"--Provided by publisher.
