“This book is a testament to the importance of one of the most interesting phenomena of the impact of the digital revolution on the news media ecosystem: the proliferation of influencers or content creators suddenly endowed with the privileges of media organizations to gather, process, and distribute information to large audiences,” Rosental C. Alves, Knight Center founder and director and the UNESCO Chair in Communication at the University of Texas at Austin, writes in the foreword of the e-book.
