Reviews

`This is a powerfully written, well-researched myth-buster that demolishes standard arguments about the role of the internet in fostering global understanding, bottom-up journalism, the wisdom of crowds, social trust and sense of community. It is an important book for students of journalism around the world.'James Curran, Department of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK `In this well-written and important book, Elvestad and Philips are diligent in their examination of the many myths that have developed about the role of the internet and its impact on the news audiences.'Toril Aalberg, Department of Sociology and Political Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
