This boldly original book traces the evolution of documentary film and photography as they migrated onto digital platforms during the first decades of the twenty-first century. Kris Fallon examines the emergence of several key media forms-social networking and crowdsourcing, video games and virtual environments, big data and data visualization-and demonstrates the formative influence of political conflict and the documentary film tradition on their evolution and cultural integration. Focusing on particular moments of political rupture, Fallon argues that the ideological rifts of the period inspired the adoption and adaptation of newly available technologies to encourage social mobilization and political action, a function performed for much of the previous century by independent documentary film. Positioning documentary film and digital media side by side in the political sphere, Fallon asserts that "truth" now lies in a new set of media forms and discursive practices that implicitly shape the documentation of everything from widespread cultural spectacles like wars and presidential elections to more invisible or isolated phenomena like the Abu Ghraib torture scandal or the "fake news" debates of 2016.Digital mediaPolitical aspectsUnited States21st centuryDocumentary mass mediaUnited States21st centuryMass mediaObjectivityUnited States21st centuryOnline social networksPolitical aspects21st centuryFilms, cinemabicsscMedia studiesbicsscPolitics & governmentbicssc21st century.abu ghraib torture.big data.crowdsourcing.cultural integration.data visualization.digital platforms.documentary film tradition.documentary film.evolution.fake news.formative influence.ideological rifts.key media forms.photography.political action.political conflict.political rupture.presidential elections.scandal.social networking.video games.virtual environments.wars.Digital mediaPolitical aspectsDocumentary mass mediaMass mediaObjectivityOnline social networksPolitical aspectsFilms, cinemaMedia studiesPolitics & government302.23/10973Fallon Krisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut989490DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910367592003321Where Truth Lies2263044UNINA
