Description
Underserved Communities and Digital Discourse: Getting Voices Heard presents a series of case studies which evaluate the elevation and suppression of voices within marginalized and minority communities. It examines the use of digital media and its role in the construction of realityspecifically who is included, who is left out, and who feels they must remain silent. Through both quantitative and qualitative measures, this book discusses digital discourse in terms of ethnic media, political communication, ethics, crisis communication, myth, and health frameworks.
Reviews
Underserved Communities and Digital Discourse is an important step in exploring the significance of social medias potential to enlarge, rather than erase, connectedness. -- Meta G. Carstarphen, University of Oklahoma
