Making media studies

More about the book

This book suggests that media studies scholars have failed to recognize the significance of everyday creativity- the vital drive of people to make, exchange, and learn together, supported by online networks. It argues that we should think about media in terms of conversations, inspirations, and making things happen. Media studies can be about genuine social change, if we recognize the significance of everyday creativity, work to transform our tools, and learn to use them wisely. -- Publisher description.
