Book synopsis

This volume examines journalism and memorialization in the age of social media. The rise of online memorial groups - virtual communities formed in the aftermath of tragic events - speaks to the notion that individual expression has become more visible and ubiquitous than ever before within a communication context. The book asserts the audience as decidedly active with users seeking a robust platform for expression. The book takes particular care to consider the central role of communication technology in the ways that individuals are remembering and forgetting in the aftermath of crises. This emerging social practice has profound implications for journalists, journalism scholars, and journalism educators.
