The third edition represents the return of this dictionary to print. A distinctive feature is its significantly greater coverage of social media, already featured in our supplementary online
Dictionary of Social Media. Raising the profile of networked communication is in harmony with our aspiration to stimulate relational thinking. As the epigraph suggests, a key mission from the start has been to make connections across this highly multidisciplinary field, in support of which an extensive network of cross-references serves as a conceptual map. We hope that readers will find the book to be a useful analytical toolkit in the study of interpersonal, mass, and networked communication. It covers both academic theory and professional practice and reflects a variety of paradigms.
Specialists will thus encounter terms and concepts with which they are unfamiliar or which may even seem alien: a sobering reminder of the bewilderingly diverse discourses confronting the neophyte. Seeking connections between disparate perspectives could hardly be a more pressing imperative in this post-truth era: the future of our networked society depends upon us all communicating beyond our own echo chambers. Our thanks go to friends and colleagues who have commented on drafts for this edition, especially Ed McDonald, Jamie Medhurst, and Paul Merrett; however, they are not implicated in our final editorial decisions.
