«Digital Disconnect» is Robert W. McChesney's essay, published by The New Press in hardback (299 pages, in English).
McChesney analyses how economic power and policies favourable to large corporations have made the internet a space dominated by monopolies such as Google and Microsoft, where surveillance grows and independent journalism collapses. Against this anti-democratic drift, he argues for recovering the internet's democratising potential.
The work originally appeared in March 2013 and is situated within the critique of the political economy of the media and technology.
Intended for those who want to understand the debate about the power of large platforms and its effects on democracy and journalism.
