"In this concise overview, Russell complicates the 'narrative of
decline' of traditional news journalism, and celebrates the
neo-situationist 'détournements' of what she terms 'fake news'
producers such as the Daily Show and the Yes Men."

"Networked hits the mark...Russell has spoken to and
learned from those who are pioneering new journalism practices. She
seeks to understand, not to damn. Networked is a great piece
of modern scholarship. It reveals much about new types of news and
new pathways to democratic engagement. It is an enriching and
eloquent book by a writer with a sparkling style and an equally
effervescent intellect, and I shall recommend it highly to my
students and colleagues."

"This short book will be an interesting read for journalists and
non-journalists alike, though possibly for different reasons. Most
journalists will already have an opinion on the matter, so to them
the book will be useful to confirm opinion or sharpen arguments.
For the rest, it is a good starting point for forming an opinion on
the future of journalism and the news."

"This timely and thought-provoking book hands us the tools for
understanding the key ways in which journalism is changing in
today's new media landscape. Combining careful theoretical and
historical analysis with discussion of contemporary examples of
innovative newsmaking, Russell presents a vision for how journalism
can not only survive but thrive in the digital age."

Mizuko Ito, University of California

"In this broad and probing examination of journalism as it has
changed in the last two decades, Adrienne Russell offers a
genuinely original - and an intellectually enriching - account of
new forms of news and new opportunities for democratic engagement.
This book matters."
