A review by stanro
On Disruption by Katharine Murphy

informative fast-paced

4.0

Murphy outlines the changes forced on the print media by the advent of social media and how it threatens the quality and integrity of journalism. She goes on to discuss the success of Donald Trump, who was US President at the time of writing. She then examines the question of whether Trump is a creation of the media or a skilled player within that changed environment. With his resurgence and the coming presidential race this year, there is food for thought here. 

She also canvasses how these media changes have impacted Australian politics, gives us an insight into the analytics used on internet-based media and speaks for the democratising of media thereby.
