Dear AOIR Colleagues,

Some of you may be interested in our recently published volume on media activism studies.


MEDIA ACTIVISM IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Edited by Victor Pickard and Guobin Yang


This new edited collection brings together leading scholars and activists to explore how varieties of activism are mediated through communication technologies, how activists deploy strategies for changing the structures of media systems, and how governments and corporations seek to police media activism. From memes to zines, hacktivism to artivism, Media Activism in the Digital Age considers activist practices involving both older kinds of media and newer digital, social, and network-based forms.


Media Activism in the Digital Age provides a useful cross-section of this growing field for both students and researchers.
