Book Description

This accessible, student-friendly book provides a concise overview of 
the primary debates surrounding the impact and effects of social media.

From Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to Snapchat and TikTok, social 
media has become part of our everyday experience. However, its 
proliferation has brought a myriad of serious concerns about the 
long-term effects of social media on socializing and personal 
relationships and the impact on well-being and mental health 
(particularly in relation to children and adolescents), as well as 
issues linked to information and culture (such as privacy, 
misinformation, and manipulation). Featuring contributions by leading 
international scholars and established authorities such as Christian 
Fuchs, Henry Jenkins, Michael A. Stefanone, and Joan Donovan, editor 
Devan Rosen brings together key contemporary research from multiple 
disciplines in order to provide crucial insight into these debates.

This book will be an important resource for students and scholars of 
media and communication, as well as educators, parents, policy makers, 
and clinicians interested in the impacts of social media.
