Review:
Eugenia Siapera′s Understanding New Media offers an admirably clear-sighted and engaging analysis of contemporary forms of mediation, illuminating the dynamics of new media across social, political and cultural spheres while skilfully avoiding the many traps that abound in this field - of hyperbole, obfuscation, partiality and lack of empirical grounding. She provokes her reader to think afresh about familiar phenomena, to synthesise diverse theoretical positions, and to stretch their imaginations to anticipate what is coming

An excellent introduction to the past, present and future of the electronic, networked media world. By carefully examining the complex interactions between society and media, Siapera insightfully illuminates the social, political, economic and cultural consequences of our increasingly electronically networked and mediated world. This book will be a highly useful teaching tool and an engaging read for students, teachers and scholars
