Reviews for Computer-Mediated Communication: A Theoretical and Practical Introduction to Online Human Communication

Carr draws on CMC's rich historical and theoretical foundations to orient students to the diversity of forms and functions of online interaction. With clear, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand sections, this book will be of interest to both those who teach CMC as well as those wanting a well thought-out initiation into it. Caleb T. Carr has done the hard work for you. Computer-Mediated Communication, Second Edition, takes care to detail the theory and practice of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in various contexts. It will drive theoretically informed conversations in your course! The most comprehensive overview of the field of CMC-with classic theories from the early days of the internet to phenomena like social media. A great resource for students! This book masterfully synthesizes a large and diverse body of computer-mediated communication studies across multiple contexts, including intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and political communication. This is an engaging, funny, student-centered textbook that fulfills a desperately needed niche-the examination of communication and technology in our social lives.
