Hi all,
following the useful sharing of definitions of social media a few weeks ago, I compiled them and put them on a blog post for myself and for my students.
If anyone is interested, it's here: http://julianhopkins.com/how-to-define-social-media-an-academic-summary/
I also noted that Miller et al.'s more anthropological, 'culture as text' approach was not mentioned:
"Social media should not be seen primarily as the platforms upon which people post, but rather as the contents that are posted on these platforms." (Miller et al. 2016: 61)
