{"product_id":"digital-mosaic-david-taras-9781442608863","title":"Digital Mosaic: Media, Power, and Identity in Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eDigital Media has transformed the way Canadians socialize and interact, conduct business, experience culture, fight political battles, and acquire knowledge. Traditional media, including newspapers and conventional TV networks, remain the primary link to Canada's political sphere but are under concerted attack. YouTube, blogs, online broadcasting, Facebook, and Twitter have opened new and exciting avenues of expression but offer little of the same \"nation-building glue\" as traditional media. Consequently, Canada is experiencing a number of overlapping crises simultaneously: a crisis in news and journalism, threats to the survival of the media system as a whole, and a decline in citizen engagement. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDigital Mosaic\u003c\/em\u003e, David Taras both embraces and challenges new media by arguing that these coinciding crises bring exciting opportunities as well as considerable dangers to democratic life and citizen engagement in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Taras\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442608862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442608863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"David Taras","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685652943103,"sku":"9781442608863","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b74a3d8d-cb24-477e-940c-938bf4143516.jpg?v=1741726359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-mosaic-david-taras-9781442608863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
