Description

Social media is taking centre stage in our world, challenging and unsettling
20th-century ways of living and working. No one is immune. Tell Everyone: Why We Share
and Why It Matters is a groundbreaking work that delves deeply into how social media is
reshaping the worlds of media, business, politics and activism.

Written with journalistic flair but with academic rigour, former BBC journalist Alfred
Hermida lays bare why we feel compelled to share news, gossip and information, and
always have. Every day more than 500 million messages are sent on Twitter, 800 million
people share four billion stories, links, photographs and videos on Facebook. Every
minute, 100 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. And the flow is ever-increasing.
In this new era of media saturation, what do we mean by "the news"? Is "the most
trusted name in news" today a veteran anchor on television or an undergraduate tweeting
from Tahrir Square in Cairo?

Tell Everyone spells out how our ability to create and share news is shaping the
information we receive and depend on to make informed decisions, from choosing
politicians to doing business. Drawing on historical examples, real-world experiences
and leading research, Tell Everyone is your essential guide to understanding how this
digital revolution is affecting you.
