Networked Public

Social Media and Social Change in Contemporary China

by Wei He ...

Series series Social Sciences (R0)
This book coins the term “Networked Public” to describe the active social actors in new media ecology. The author argues that, in today’s network society, Networked Public Communication is different than, yet has similarities with, mass communication and interpersonal communication.
