From the publisher

Engaging the thematic issues of the Web as a space where magic, metaphor, and power converge, the chapters cover such subjects as The Web and Corporate Media Systems, Conspiracy Theories and the Web; The Economy of Cyberpromotion, The Bias of the Web, The Web and Issues of Gender, and so on.

First line

Much contemporary literature discusses the starkly antidemocratic implications and trajectory of the contemporary media system (McChesney, 1999).
