"Hutchinson, Suwana and McTernan’s Social Media in Society manages to both provide a valuable snapshot of the state of social media today while also offering a fresh take on how social media matters via brand new examples and case studies. This book will be a welcome addition for students and teachers alike!" — Tama Leaver, Professor of Internet Studies, Curtin University, Australia. This book is about the role that social media plays in the lives of individuals, societies, economies and polities. It therefore takes in a wide view of the emergent and changing impacts of social media platforms, and social media practices. As a consequence, it examines social media use through various intellectual and scholarly traditions --psychology, sociology, cultural studies, economics, and (national and global) politics – but it is primarily situated in the field of media and communications studies. As such, it frames its analysis of social media impacts using media studies concepts and terminology, and places media texts, forms, industries and agents (producers, audiences and other users) at the centre of each thematic chapter.
