Opis

This book challenges ideas about online media culture as a platform for empowerment, cultural transformation, and social progress. Via research with queer teen media makers and analysis of youth-produced videos and media campaigns, Berliner unsettles assumptions that having a "voice" and visibility equate to securing rights
