Download or read book Sharing News Online written by Fiona Martin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the political economics and cultural politics of social media news sharing, investigating how it is changing journalism and the news media internationally. News sharing plays important economic and cultural roles in an attention economy, recommending the stories audiences find valuable, making them more visible, and promoting the digital platforms that are reshaping our media ecologies. But is news sharing a force for democracy, or a sign of journalism’s declining power to set news agendas? In Sharing News Online, Tim Dwyer and Fiona Martin analyse the growth of commendary culture and the business of social news, critique the rise of news analytics and dissect virality online. They reveal that surprisingly, we share political stories more highly than celebrity news, and they probe how deeply affect drives our sharing behaviour. In mapping the contours of a critical digital media phenomenon, this book makes essential reading for scholars, journalists and media executives.

With his Dad and Mom retiring, he and his brother Roan are taking over the family business. He knew that Sunday would be there, but what he doesn't count on is that she is not right where he left her. Sunday has been at the Crofton Inn since she was an infant, meaning that she grew up with Ridge and Roan. The three amigos were the best of friends.

Who leaves the girl he loves for six years without so much as a phone call shared during that time? The ideal love story should have made Ridge turn around and come back.
