New book chapter: Social Media as Civic Space for Media Criticism and Journalism Hate
The book chapter "Social Media as the Civic Space for Media Criticism and Journalism Hate" by Göran Svensson is published in the book "Managing Democracy in the Digital Age". In this contribution a Swedish social media discussion forum, Flashback, is studied as an arena for media criticism and journalism hate. One discussion thread on Flashback is analyzed with special attention to how the relation between a journalist and anonymous online critics of journalism is developed in the forum thread.
