Showing the reader how to ask the right kinds of questions about social media, Christian Fuchs takes us on a journey across social media, delving deep into case studies on Google, Facebook, Twitter, WikiLeaks and Wikipedia. The result lays bare the structures and power relations at the heart of our media landscape." -- Publisher's description. 0aSocial media. 0aRedes sociales en línea 4aRedes sociales 0aMedios de comunicación de masas
