NEW BOOK - Communication Against Domination: Ideas of Justice from the 
Printing Press to Algorithmic Media

There are many things we /ought/ to do. Our media should support 
democracy, communications ought to advance equality, and technology must 
serve justice not domination. The research we choose to pursue often 
takesitscue from such normative /ideals/. Yet, we usually take these 
/ideals /for granted, without devoting much analytical attention to them.

This book explore how normative analysis can support and justify our 
ideals about what media /ought/ to be and do. It asks whether the things 
we owe one another in discourse, and the things justice requires from 
communication are universal and unchanging, or dependent on empirical 
facts and prevailing information technologies. It argues that the 
clarity that comes with rigorous normative analysis will make media and 
communication research better, more robust,and more transparent.
