| Tags : | Nouveaux médias journalisme | Index. décimale : | 070.4 Journalisme | Résumé : | "Recent political upheavals in the former Soviet States and the uprisings in the Middle East and North African region have been celebrated as the triumph of new media over authoritarian and repressive regimes. Like the printing press and the telegraph that came before it, social media is considered by many to be a liberating technology, inherently democratic and democratising, and the key to positive political change. EJC’s new book, Revolution: Share!, takes a fresh look at the role social media play in pro-democratic movements. Tackling a number of assumptions and generally held opinions, the author, Moran Barkai, examines these developments in order to get a closer look at the real influence that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the like have on political change. Revolution: Share! is an exploration into social media’s potential in opposing repressive regimes, but also a critical look at how this potential is limited or even neutralised by some of the media’s own characteristics, its use by non-democratic actors, and the very nature of democratic processes."
