Digital Transformations in Turkey analyzes the genesis, dynamics, and operations of different communication contexts in relation to digital transformations in Turkey. The contributors tackle such topics as the impact of social networking channels like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter and the changing dimensions of social, cultural, and political ideologies. Akdenizli offers a multifaceted and balanced discussion of the role and impact of communication technologies in a country with questionable and blatant freedom of expression violations. This collection will appeal to scholars of communication, new media, and technology in emerging markets.
"This book is a welcome and much needed contribution to the growing field of Internet Studies. Filled with insightful, forward-thinking and well designed essays and studies, it expands our understanding of how online media are shaping and are being shaped by the Turkish socio-cultural context. Sophisticated, up-to-date, and innovative, this is a must read for all those interested in the transformative potential of the net and its platforms."
