Media, politics and the network society

Description:

"In this book, Robert Hassan unpacks the dynamics of this new information order and shows how they have affected both the way media and politics are 'played', and how these are set to reshape and reorder our world. Utilising many of the current ideas in media theory, cultural studies and the politics of the newly evolving 'networked civil society', Hassan argues that the network society is shot-through with contradictions and in a state of deep flux."--BOOK JACKET.
