Marshall McLuhan made many predictions in his seminal 1964 publication, Understanding Media: Extensions of Man. Among them were his predictions that the Internet would become a ±global village, making us more interconnected than television; the closing of the gap between consumers and producers; the elimination of space and time as barriers to communication; and the melting of national borders. He is also famously remembered for coining the expression ±the medium is the message. These predictions form the genesis of this updated volume by Robert K. Logan, a friend and colleague who worked with McLuhan. In this second edition of Understanding New Media Logan expertly updates McLuhan?s Understanding Media to analyze the ±new media McLuhan foreshadowed and yet was never able to analyze or experience. The book is designed to reach a new generation of readers as well as appealing to scholars and students who are familiar with Understanding Media.

Vidéo d'un chat qui saute en voyant un concombre, blague sur l'actualité, dénonciation d'une injustice : nous avons tous conscience de vivre dans une culture de la viralité, où le succès se mesure à la vitesse de la propagation. Et nous pensons tous que c'est une marque de notre modernité, que ce sont les réseaux sociaux qui ont transformé les modalités de diffusion des idées. Les auteurs, tous spécialistes de l'histoire de la presse, nous prouvent ici qu'il n'en est rien : au XIXe ? siècle, le "copier-coller" régnait déjà dans la presse ; une histoire bien troussée, même fausse, pouvait être reproduite à des centaines d'occasions à travers les continents, comme une bonne histoire sur Facebook ; le bon mot d'un écrivain réapparaissait un peu partout, comme un tweet populaire ; légendes urbaines, fake news, rumeurs, circulaient de journaux en journaux ; des réclames publicitaires mystérieuses s'étalaient sur les murs, pour faire le buzz comme on dit aujourd'hui. Avec un plaisir contagieux et en 15 courts chapitres partant d'un phénomène contemporain pour en faire l'archéologie, ce livre démonte les mécanismes de la viralité médiatique, pour montrer que ce sont des phénomènes profondément ancrés dans la culture de la presse, dès sa naissance.
