?In this elegant book, Lindgren moves beyond the frequent schizophrenia of methods debates to ask: what happens when traditional social theory and data analytics are combined smartly? The result is illuminating and useful. Highly recommended!?Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science?This is a very interesting book with an original approach which will be useful to scholars and students.?Lina Dencik, Cardiff University?In this provocative text, Lindgren leads us on an innovative path that should both challenge and inspire researchers across the quant-qual divide. A new social science methods classic for the digital media era!?Sarah T. Roberts, UCLA
