| Summary: | Seth C. Lewis, Papé Chair in Emerging Media, University of Oregon: While recent episodes have raised questions about algorithmic manipulation and discrimination, what remained missing was a truly comprehensive account, one that not only synthesizes the state of affairs but also offers a conceptual framework for interpreting these developments in light of public policy, news values and ethics, and the future of the public sphere. This book bridges that gap. Philip M. Napoli offers a timely and persuasive case for seeing social media as news media, with a fundamental obligation to serve the public interest. Media Technocracy offers valuable insights for the democratic governance of today’s most influential shapers of news. |
