[Commlist] New book: Digital Platforms and the Press

Intellect is pleased to share that /Digital Platforms and the Press 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/digital-platforms-and-the-press>/, 
by James Meese, is out in paperback and hardback!

Platform dependence is a concept that is used to describe what happens 
when businesses or an entire sector become reliant on one or more 
digital platforms for their survival. /Digital Platforms and the 
Press/ argues that we face a major risk of a platform-dependent press—a 
development that threatens liberal democracies across the world. As 
James Meese shows, the situation is occurring across the news industry, 
to the extent that it is difficult to imagine the production, 
distribution, and long-term survival of news in liberal democracies 
without the involvement of platforms. As governments, regulators, and 
citizens become increasingly concerned about platform power, /Digital 
Platforms and the Press/ is the first book to highlight the long-term 
economic and social consequences of platform dependence for the news sector.

This title is also available in *Open Access*.
