Introduction
Media industries, companies and organisations have access to more data than ever before. Increasingly, we hear that production is data-driven; formulated for and by algorithms. But what does it truly mean to create and consume content in the era of 'big data'? This unit interrogates the dominant discourse surrounding digital and mobile media, from the evangelism around rapid technological change, to the corporatisation of information, to informal and formal networks of resistance.
