Publisher's Synopsis

This volume will explore news consumption and media manipulation, including selective curation of news stories and the lack of a shared news narrative. It will examine the effect of internet subcultures that manipulate news feeds, set agendas, and push ideas forward. It will investigate internet media's dependence on trending analytics and metrics, sensationalism of headlines and advertising driven models of news publishing. The volume will also explore the negative effect of public consumption of false or misleading news.
