Looking Out, Looking In - Softcover

"The text is engaging and students repeatedly tell me that it is the only--or one of the only textbooks they plan on keeping." "I REALLY like this chapter [new Chapter 2 Interpersonal Communication and Social Media]. It is by far one of the best and most relevant writings on social media research I have seen and I would be excited about the possibility of including it in my curriculum."
