This volume focuses on the hyper-mediatization of Latin America
from the citizen's perspective, considering the social impact and
how people embrace information technologies to improve their living
conditions, engage in political issues and the role of digital
journalism in promoting democratic values in Latin America. The
book is divided into three parts: 'Digital Media and Daily Life in
Latin America' explores cases related to the integration of digital
media such as mobile devices, social platforms and, even, drones to
diverse commercial, private and social activities. 'Information
technologies and civic engagement' gives special attention to the
new political practices triggered by the irruption of smartphones
and platforms, especially inside organizations and social movements
in Latin America. 'Journalism and Media Integrity in the Age of
Post-truth' centers on the study of digital journalism and the new
media landscape, and related issues like precarization of labor
conditions and the crisis of reliability in media. This second
volume in a two volume set will be important reading for scholars
and students of social use of digital media in Latin America, civic
engagement, and the connections between politics, journalism and
technology.
