It studies such new media phenomena as brandjacking, crowd-funding, crowd-mapping, augmented reality, mHealth, and transmedia, focusing specifically on new media platforms like Facebook and Facebook Live, Twitter, Sina Weibo, Yelp, and other mobile apps., This edited collection explores the practical applications of diverse types of emerging media technologies in a variety of industries and in many different regions of the world.
