Hi everyone,
I'd be pleased to receive some of your good advice.
Next semester, I am teaching an undergraduate course on social media and power dynamics. I would be grateful if you could share some 'must read' articles that were published in the field last year.
In addition, I would be also happy for suggestions of film segments or animated videos illustrating aspects related to the field, e.g. journalism, algorithms, social action etc.
Thank you,
