He shows that the marketplace works in ways that belie our greatest hopes and fears about digital media and shows that public attention is at once diverse and concentrated--that users move across a variety of outlets, producing high levels of audience overlap. He questions whether our preferences are immune from media influence, and he describes how our encounters with media might change our tastes. Webster claims we typically encounter ideas that cut across our predispositions. In the process, we will remake the marketplace of ideas and reshape the twenty-first century public sphere. --$cEdited summary from book. 606 $aMass media$xAudiences 610 $aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Communications & Telecommunications 610 $aPHYSICAL SCIENCES/General 610 $aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 615 0$aMass media$xAudiences. 676 $a302.23 700 $aWebster$b James G$01579987 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787101103321 996 $aThe marketplace of attention$93860480 997 $aUNINA
