Delta Stream Media

Social media has put mass communication in the hands of normal people on an unprecedented scale, and has also given social scientists the tools necessary to listen to the voices of everyday people around the world. This book gives social scientists the skills necessary to leverage that opportunity, and transform social media's vast stream of information into social science data. The book combines the big data techniques of computer science with social science methodology. Intended as a text for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in the social sciences, this book provides a methodological pathway for scholars who want to make use of this new and evolving source of data. It provides a framework for building one's own data collection and analysis infrastructure, a toolkit of content analysis, geographic analysis, and network analysis, and meditations on the ethical implications of social media data.

Some advocates and more than a few critics have misconstrued the political economy of media as a unified field of inquiry. The authors from this volume, by contrast, draw from a more diverse stream of

在本書中，好萊塢不再只是造夢工廠，而是一個高度自我保護、彼此勾連的封閉體系。作者以犀利筆法，描寫明星如何在金錢、崇拜與媒體放大的環境中，逐漸失去自我節制。書中涵蓋兒童教養、成癮文化、政治表態與網路輿論等面向，呈現娛樂產業與美國流行文化之間的相互影響。閱讀過程充滿震撼與諷刺感，也促使讀者反思：當名人被視為道德指標，社會究竟付出了什麼代價。Hollywood, Interrupted is a sometimes frightening, occasionally sad, and frequently hysterical odyssey into the darkest realms of showbiz pathology, the endless stream of meltdowns and flameouts, and the inexplicable behavior on the part of show business personalities.Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, Hollywood, Interrupted takes readers on a surreal field trip into the amoral belly of the entertainment industry. Each chapter ― covering topics including warped Hollywood child-rearing, bad medicine, hypocritical political maneuvering and the complicit media ― delivers a meticulously researched, interview-infused, attitude heavy dispatch which analyzes and deconstructs the myths created by the celebrities themselves.Celebrities somehow
