For you, there's probably no before or after the internet. When you were born, everything was already connected, and it doesn't even seem possible that the world would work any other way.
However, the internet has changed—and is still changing—many things in the world, including journalism.
Through the internet, invisible giants like Google and Facebook have emerged. They aren't journalism companies, but they have transformed the way we access information.
On social media, news seems supersonic, and views, likes, and shares can reach millions. The problem is that rumors, hearsay, and lies do too.
We've become accustomed to receiving information and misinformation delivered to us through secret algorithms, to having routines in virtual worlds, to communicating with abbreviations and emojis. We live in a huge bubble of likes and shares.But do we really know the rules of the game?
What impact does all this have on our relationship with the world and the decisions we make? This book believes that it's important to ask questions and that the answers aren't all on Google.
