Social Media: Dynamism, Issues, and Challenges

About the Book

The social media phenomenon has vastly changed the landscape of communication around the world. Boundaries have disappeared, and now people can be easily connected for a variety of purposes. In Social Media: Dynamism, Issues, and Challenges, editors Ainin Sulaiman & M Muzamil Naqshbandi present a compilation of writings that explore the contemporary issues related to social media. The essays discuss the dynamism in social media, its issues, and its challenges. The book incorporates multiple approaches, and the topics span from national-level issues—such as crime detection, civic engagement, and social innovation—to individual-level issues, such as social-media usage and its impact on students. Creating a cultural context for students, users, and academics alike, the research presented in Social Media: Dynamism, Issues, and Challenges incorporates the multidisciplinary perspectives on the utilization of social media in order to examine the widespread use of social media and its place in today’s society.
