Routledge New Media: A Critical Introduction - Routledge

New Media: A Critical Introduction is a comprehensive guide to understanding the culture, history, technologies and theories that define contemporary digital communication. Designed for students and scholars, this Routledge publication examines whether 'new media' truly represent a paradigm shift and develops analytical frameworks for media studies in an age of rapid technological change. The book explores how to identify and characterise the defining features of new media, investigates the social and political applications of digital communications platforms, and analyses the intersection of new media technologies with global politics and globalisation. By combining theoretical insight with practical examples, it equips readers with the critical tools needed to understand and interpret the media landscape they inhabit.
