Written in a lively style and drawing on examples from contemporary media, it discusses what precisely gets represented in media texts, who gets to do the talking, what knowledge people need to share in order to understand the media and how power relations are reinforced or challenged.

Coding Cultures explores how a range of media technologies can enable communities to express and share their stories in innovative and imaginative ways. I am particularly interested in this intersection between people using well established processes for engaging with communities and individuals and the application of a range of information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as the web or mobile phones for example. These new technologies enable a rich participatory media culture where people can make, share and distribute their experiences.
