Dear All,
We have the pleasure to let you know about the publication of our book,
/The Future of Media/, coedited by Goldsmiths Media and myself, which
has just come out from Goldsmiths Press.
Here is the book’s description:
How do we combat post-truth in the news? Are social media influencers
the journalists of today? What is it like to live in a smart city? Does
AI really change ‘everything’? /The Future of Media/ investigates the
future of media industries and technologies (journalism, TV, film,
photography, radio, publishing, social media), while exploring how media
shape our future – on a political, economic, cultural and individual
level. Issues of diversity, media reform, labour, activism and art take
the discussion into a wider social context. Through this, the book
celebrates the importance and vitality of media in the modern world.
/The Future of Media/ is also an experiment in collaborative modes of
thinking and working. Co-authored by theorists and practitioners from
one of the world’s most established media departments and their
collaborators, it offers a radical, creative and critical take on media
industries – and on world affairs.
An open-access version of the book can be downloaded from the GRO
