While increasing numbers of people rely primarily or exclusively on online platforms, authoritarian regimes have concurrently developed a formidable array of technological capabilities to constrain and repress their citizens. In The Rise of Digital Repression, Steven Feldstein documents how the emergence of advanced digital tools bring new dimensions to political repression. Presenting new field research from Thailand, the Philippines, and Ethiopia, he investigates the goals, motivations, and drivers of these digital tactics.

Technology in authoritarian hands creates smothering repression in the Philippines, Ethiopia, Thailand, or anywhere one finds governments fear of their own citizens. Advances in artificial intelligence, especially when developed by techno-authoritarian regimes, deepens the concern. Yet, in the end, Feldman guides us through more hopeful alternatives.

This tide could recede; equally compelling are the strategies he outlines for democratic governments, for civil society activists, and for those in the private sector looking to stem the tide. * Sarah E.

While most research highlights the personal characteristics and expertise important to business success, this book demonstrates that networking is the core of entrepreneurship. Both counterintuitive and powerful, this perspective reframes entrepreneurial action by placing networking at the center of the process. Traditionally, networks have been regarded as facilitators of business, but Tom Elfring, Kim Klyver, and Elco van Burg argue that networking is actually the basis of entrepreneurial action, and conversely, that entrepreneurial action is networking. In developing an entrepreneurship as networking model, the book addresses the persistent problems that plague the dominant individual-opportunity approach in entrepreneurship. They describe the key dynamics, mechanisms, and practices of entrepreneurship as networking, and point at fruitful networking strategies for entrepreneurs. Thus, the authors provide an integrated and dynamic account of entrepreneurial agency that prioritizes interaction with the surrounding social environment. They also explain what a viable network is for entrepreneurs and how networking activities affect their endeavours. Their perspective sheds new light on the origins of opportunities and how entrepreneurs access and mobilize resources. The approach also explains how entrepreneurs build legitimacy and exploit the networks they work within.

Yet far from a distant technology of the future, the true power of AI lies in its subtle revolution of ordinary life. From voice assistants like Siri to natural language processors, AI technologies use cultural biases and modern psychology to fit specific characteristics of how users perceive and navigate the external world, thereby projecting the illusion of intelligence. Integrating media studies, science and technology studies, and social psychology, Deceitful Media examines the rise of artificial intelligence throughout history and exposes the very human fallacies behind this technology. Focusing specifically on communicative AIs, Natale argues that what we call AI is not a form of intelligence but rather a reflection of the human user. Using the term banal deception, he reveals that deception forms the basis of all human-computer interactions rooted in AI technologies, as technologies like voice assistants utilize the dynamics of projection and stereotyping as a means for aligning with our existing habits and social conventions. By exploiting the human instinct to connect, AI reveals our collective vulnerabilities to deception, showing that what machines are primarily changing is not other technology but ourselves as humans.  Deceitful Media illustrates how AI has continued a tradition of technologies that mobilize our liability to deception and shows that only by better understanding our vulnerabilities to deception can we become more sophisticated consumers of interactive media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ea real breath of fresh air ... fundamental reading for an understanding of AI as a socio-material phenomenon * Domenico Napolitano, Prometheus *\u003cbr\u003eDeceitful Media makes a compelling case that the development of artificial intelligence is inextricably woven together with fallacies of human perception. Analyzing archival documents from the 1950s onward, Simone Natale demonstrates the prevalence of what he calls 'banal deception,' the everyday taken-for-granted interactions that attribute human-equivalent intelligence to algorithmic processes that in themselves are quite different. A remarkable achievement, this accessible and well-written book is a 'must-read' for media scholars, cultural critics, and anyone interested in the significance of artificial intelligence for our time. * N. Katherine Hayles, author of Postprint: Books and Becoming Computational *\u003cbr\u003eFrom the time of Alan Turing's Game of Imitation, the benchmark of machine intelligence has been deceptive communicative behavior. In Deceitful Media, Simone Natale provides a decisive and revealing analysis of the history, significance, and social consequences of deception in artificial intelligence, demonstrating how and why deceit is not a bug to be fixed but a defining feature of both the theory and practice of AI. * David J. Gunkel, Northern Illinois University *\u003cbr\u003eA fundamental fear surrounding artificial intelligence is that it will one day become a technology of deception. As Simone Natale informs us in Deceitful Media, that day is already here. However, such deception is not the malicious kind of science fiction; rather, the deceit of AI is one enacted in our minds as they encounter technologies carefully crafted to our social nature. By situating AI within the context of media and communication theory, Natale dispels the hype surrounding AI as a technology, replacing it with a theoretical lens informed by the seemingly mundane elements of our ongoing interactions with AI as forms of media. As a result, Deceitful Media provides us with not only a new way to think about AI, but also a more grounded approach to assessing its impact for ourselves and society. * Andrea Guzman, Northern Illinois University *\u003cbr\u003eA remarkable critical history of the artifice central to artificial intelligence. Natale has peered beyond the scandalously uncanny valleys, the many muddily mediated human-machine thought experiments, and scurrilous bids for grants and investor capital to uncover the dark heart of artificial intelligence: namely, the everyday ordinary ways that 'banal deception' is integrated into our lives. In so doing, Deceitful Media offers pressingly ethical, sober, and sophisticated pathways to reclaiming the unnatural ordinariness of the human psyche in the shadow of artificial intelligence.

Governments from the United States to Australia have sought to reduce the power of these platforms and curtail the dominance of a few, yet regulatory responses remain fragmented, with some focused solely on competition while others seek to address issues around harm, privacy, and freedom of expression.Regulating Big Tech condenses the vibrant tech policy debate into a toolkit for the policy maker, legal expert, and academic seeking to address one of the key issues facing democracies today: platform dominance and its impact on society. Contributors explore elements of the toolkit through comprehensive coverage of existing and future policy on data, antitrust, competition, freedom of expression, juris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSocieties have finally woken up to the threat to democracy posed by the dominance of a small number of tech companies. But to date, the legal and legislative responses to the threat have been disjointed, unimaginative, and in some cases almost incoherent. The shortage of good ideas for bringing digital technology under effective democratic control is palpable and worrying. By assembling a formidable group of thinkers on these questions, Tambini and Moore have not only created the kind of brain trust liberal democracies need at this critical time, but also a primer for policymakers everywhere. * John Naughton, Cambridge University and Observer columnist *\u003cbr\u003eThe threat to democracy posed by the concentration of power in digital media markets is one of the great challenges of our time. Regulating Big Tech has assembled ideas for change from some of the best thinkers in the world.

No, says Sue Robinson, you have put yourselves into it. You have to engage with the people you are trying to inform and come clean about your own identity as a private citizen and public professional. Her brave book, How Journalists Engage, describes the 'built environment' where an alternative—and far more humble—approach is slowly coming into view. In this detailed account of engagement work, there is a rethinking of journalism's entire professional project. I, for one, welcome that. * Jay Rosen, New York University Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, and author of What Are Journalists For? *\u003cbr\u003eIn How Journalists Engage, Susan Robinson has done something refreshing: She's taken the chaos of an industry besieged by challenges in a turbulent world and extracted a framework that can give journalists a firmer footing. Not sure what it will take to strengthen our ties to an anxious, divided public? Her four new roles and eight new skill sets are a strong place to start. * Mónica Guzmán, Senior Fellow for Public Practice, Braver Angels, and author of I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times *\u003cbr\u003eHow Journalists Engage illuminates the changing role of trust in the contemporary news ecosystem. Professor Robinson has written an important book for scholars and practitioners alike. * Pablo J. Boczkowski, Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Professor, Northwestern University, and author of Abundance *\u003cbr\u003eNow more than ever, journalism is faced with the challenge of how to build trust within our increasingly fractured and polarized communities. How Journalists Engage is essential reading for anyone interested in this vital challenge. Building on rich and rigorous empirical research, including a diverse range of engagement case studies, it calls for an ethic of 'identity-aware care,' suggesting that journalists must prioritize listening to and learning from the diverse communities they serve. * Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, University Dean of Research Environment and Culture, Cardiff University, and author of Emotions, Media and Politics *\u003cbr\u003eThe admirable research presented within its pages makes it a must-read.

If so, does it alter the attitudes and behavior of citizens? While there is a fair amount of research exploring how social media has empowered social actors to challenge authoritarian regimes, there is much less addressing whether and how the state can actively shape the flow of information to its advantage. In China, for instance, citizens often resort to rightful resistance to lodge complaints and defend rights. By using the rhetoric of the central government, powerless citizens may exploit the slim political opportunity structure and negotiate with the state for better governance.

Through a variety of philosophical, personal, and cultural perspectives, Lipari frames listening in new ways. In a particularly interesting chapter, “Communication and a Nice Knock-Down Argument,” Lipari argues that even communication in isolation is dialogic because of the ways in which words from the past reverberate with the rhetor. In a concluding chapter, Lipari argues for “attunement,” the inseparable connection between speaking and logos.

That would have been contribution enough, but van Zoonen′s book goes beyond a synthesis to a sophisticated yet sympathetic critique of various feminist approaches to studying the media, using her own original analysis of media content and production to fill in where work is undeveloped or absent. The reader - whether new to the subject or a seasoned feminist scholar - will find the book useful and provocative. The book lays the foundation for understanding the value of a poststructuralist turn in feminist media studies but without condemning the usefulness of other feminist projects and without theoretical jargon. van Zoonen presents the best explanation of some phenomena - such as the reason that the ′male gaze′ is not simply reversed when women look at pictures of men′s bodies - that I have read.

We communicate about innumerable topics, to varied audiences, using a gamut of technologies. The ethics of communication, therefore, has to address a wide range of technical, ethical and epistemic requirements. In this book, Onora O''Neill shows how digital technologies have made communication more demanding: they can support communication with huge numbers of distant and dispersed recipients; they can amplify or suppress selected content; and they can target or ignore selected audiences. Often this is done anonymously, making it harder for readers and listeners, viewers and browsers, to assess which claims are true or false, reliable or misleading, flaky or fake. So how can we empower users to assess and evaluate digital communication, so that they can tell which standards it meets and which it flouts?

Her work outlines a basic presupposition: people must be heard, not dismissed by pejorative statements.

Arnett, Duquesne University, author of Levinas's Rhetorical Demand: The Unending Obligation of Communication Ethics\u003cbr\u003eWhen we encounter rude behavior, we instinctively blame impolite people. Drawing on academic research, personal stories, and newsworthy episodes, Shelley Lane cleverly demonstrates how incivility can emerge from cultural change, social contexts, and simple misunderstandings.

Consistent with the \"dark side\" perspective of functional ambivalence, in which there is brightness in the dark and darkness in the light, Lane presents both a highly readable and practical contemplation of incivility, as well as a legitimate scholarly work of great analytic breadth and depth. In a time that so often feels of despair, Understanding Everyday Incivility actually offers much optimism that acceptable forms of civility can be achieved. -- Brian H. Spitzberg, Senate Distinguished Professor of Communication, San Diego State University\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding Everyday Incivility offers a thorough, informed, and readable examination of the many forms that incivility can take and the various contexts in which it occurs. Lane’s numerous thought-provoking examples of behavior that might be labeled uncivil keep her analyses concrete and relevant to contemporary life. Her strategies for promoting civility are both sensible and timely. -- Emrys Westacott, Alfred University; author of The Virtues of Our Vices: A Modest Defense of Gossip, Rudeness, and Other Bad Habits\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the communicative vice of incivility and its virtuous counterpart, civility, is an invaluable resource for researchers, instructors, and practitioners alike.

In order to achieve this, specialist innovative production techniques and formats are required. This book provides a practical and thorough guide to the production of effective broadcasting for development. It covers four key areas of communication: humanitarian broadcasting in emergencies; distance learning; empowerment, good governance and human rights; broadcasting for behaviour and social change.

The reader can feel confidence in this book which has been honed from many years in the field where clearly the author has learned these lessons and approaches for himself. It's a really good read with straightforward guidance that arrives just at the point when it's needed and with a veracity that gives the reader confidence. Importantly, there are examples that are explored, lists of ideas, dos and don'ts in reference to formalities i.e. no stone is un-turned but the book is not laborious, it gives sufficient information about complex issues in a simple and enabling way.
