Social media has revolutionised journalism and wider society, for good and bad. Journalists have powerful tools - but are watching the collapse of a newspaper industry failing to compete with social media platforms. Individuals can make their contribution to the global conversation, but at the price of vicious and intimidatory trolling which threatens freedom of expression. Social media has transformed political campaigning but its recent misuse in the UK and US undermines democracy. This book recognises the good and looks at ways to minimise the bad, with contributions from leading experts in journalism, politics and digital media, as well as the latest academic research.Contributors Professor Leighton Andrews, Paul Armstrong, Professor Patrick Barwise, Sir Peter Bazalgette, Amy Binns, Vincent Campbell, Baroness Shami Chakrabati, Jim Chisholm, Alex Connock, Paul Connew, Alex DeGroote, Sean Dodson, Torin Douglas, Bill Dunlop, Dipsy Edmunds, Professor Chris Frost, Professor Christian Fuchs, Professor Ivor Gaber, Alan Geere, Tom George, Faith Gordon, Christopher Graham, Phil Harding, Professor Jeff Jarvis, Gina Miller, Denis Muller, Agnes Nairn, Professor John Naughton, David Nolan, Michelle O'Reilly, John Price, Paul Reilly, Greg Rowett, Alan Rusbridger, Professor Richard Sambrook, Kostas Saltzis, Professor Michael Schrage, Prosper Tatendra, Mark Thompson and Claire Wolfe.Editors John Mair has been the lead editor of all 25 Abramis 'hackademic' texts.

Hughes Syndrome is now recognised as a major 'new' disease. It has been described by colleague Dr Josep Font of Barcelona, as, "one of the two new diseases (with AIDS) of the 20th century".The messages are simple. Blood clots can cause untold damage. The tendency to 'sticky blood' found in Hughes Syndrome can be diagnosed by simple blood tests. The use of medicines, some as simple as aspirin, can protect against the clotting tendency. Kay Thackray here provides just the sort of clear guidance patients with Hughes Syndrome need. Coming from a patient, and coming straight from the heart, I believe that the lessons provided by this book are beyond value. - Munther A Khamashta MD FRCP Consultant Physician, Lupus Unit ST THOMAS' HOSPITAL, LONDON
