Tell Everyone: Why We Share and Why It Matters by Alfred Hermida
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.7 MB
Overview: Social media is taking centre stage in our world, challenging and unsettling 20th-century ways of living and working. No one is immune. Tell Everyone: Why We Share and Why It Matters is a groundbreaking work that delves deeply into how social media is reshaping the worlds of media, business, politics and activism.
Written with journalistic flair but with academic rigour, former BBC journalist Alfred Hermida lays bare why we feel compelled to share news, gossip and information, and always have. Every day more than 500 million messages are sent on Twitter, 800 million people share four billion stories, links, photographs and videos on Facebook. Every minute, 100 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. And the flow is ever-increasing. In this new era of media saturation, what do we mean by “the news”? Is “the most trusted name in news” today a veteran anchor on television or an undergraduate tweeting from Tahrir Square in Cairo?
