[Air-L] Definitions for Social Media Sites

[Antonello Bocchino]

Hello Rebecca,



One definition of social media I found helpful was from Graham Meikle’s
book:

“networked database platforms that combine public with personal
communication”.



Meikle*, Social Media: Communication, Sharing and Visibility* (2016:6)



Best,

Antonello

for definitions for social media sites. It could be a book, or a website,
but I am attempting to provide appropriate definitions for reddit, 4chan,
YikYak, etc.
