Robert Hassan, Julian Thomas (eds.): The New Media Theory Reader (2006)
Filed under book | Tags: · free software, hacking, information society, information technology, intellectual property, interactivity, media theory, new media, public broadcasting, software, theory
The study of new media opens up some of the most fascinating issues in contemporary culture: questions of ownership and control over information and cultural goods; the changing experience of space and time; the political consequences of new communication technologies; and the power of users and consumers to disrupt established economic and business models.
The New Media Theory Reader brings together key readings on new media ndash; what it is, where it came from, how it affects our lives, and how it is managed. Using work from media studies, cultural history and cultural studies, economics, law, and politics, the essays encourage readers to pay close attention to the ‘new’ in new media, as well as considering it as a historical phenomenon. The Reader features a general introduction as well as an editors’ introduction to each thematic section, and a useful summary of each reading.
The New Media Theory Reader is an indispensable text for students on new media, technology, sociology and media studies courses.
