Hello Rebecca, One definition of social media I found helpful was from Graham Meikle’s book: “networked database platforms that combine public with personal communication”. Meikle*, Social Media: Communication, Sharing and Visibility* (2016:6) Best, Antonello On 09/25/2017 12:23 PM, Hayes, Rebecca M wrote:
First of all I have found this group to be an amazing resource. So thank you.
Second, I am a criminologist who researches social media, so I am still learning. That said, I am looking for a good and trusted academic resource for definitions for social media sites. It could be a book, or a website, but I am attempting to provide appropriate definitions for reddit, 4chan, YikYak, etc.
What is a go-to source for that?
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Becky
