James Meese argues that there is a growing risk of a
platform-dependent press, a development that threatens
liberal democracies across the world. The book provides the
first comprehensive account of how platform dependence
manifests in the news media sector. Platform dependence is a
concept used to describe what happens when businesses
or an entire sector, become reliant on one or more digital
platforms for its survival. The situation is
occurring across the news industry, to the extent that
it is difficult to imagine the production, distribution, and
long-term survival of news in liberal democracies without
the involvement of platforms. With governments,
regulators and citizens increasingly concerned about
platform power, Digital Platforms and the Press is the
first book to highlight the long-term economic and social
consequences of platform dependence for the news
sector. Featuring a rich selection of case-studies and
written in an accessible style, Digital Platforms and the
Press provides a strong grounding in relevant debates for
the interested student reader, and important takeaways
for subject matter experts in journalism studies and media
policy. Digital Platforms and the Press will be of interest
to journalism and media policy scholars, other scholars in
communication, as well as industry practitioners and policymakers.
