Editorial Reviews

Review

“Guided by key theoretical considerations, this timely text details comprehensive empirical investigation of the effects of algorithmic news recommendations on news appreciation, news literacy and public agenda priorities. Findings suggest that algorithmic news consumption may not be as dangerous as presumed and warned. A significant contribution of this work is support for the theoretical development of a renewed conception of the active audience and the redefinition of agenda-setting. A compelling case is made for the importance of research on algorithms and artificial intelligence for understanding the future of journalism and civic society.” –Cynthia King, Professor of Communication, California State University Fullerton

“Roselyn Du’s book is a roadmap to understanding how the audience of today’s news are grappling with tailored communication, information cocoons, algorithmic literacy, and news literacy. This book is timely, insightful, and methodologically rigorous. This is a must read for students and scholars interested in algorithms and journalism.” –Kerk F Kee, Associate Professor of Media & Communication, Texas Tech University

“This comprehensive work uses original research to both focus and expand our understanding about the ways that the growing consumption of algorithmic news will impact both the news media business and participatory democracy. It provides sharp new insights at a critical moment in the evolution of journalism.” –Ryan Thornburg, Associate Professor, School of Journalism and Media, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
