The topics are fully explored in every detail through a cultivated narration, engaging and definitely educational, trying to answer the many questions raised by innovation, news and digital disruption.

From the potential of the web to abusing it, the way is short: this is one of the considerations shared in the chapters of People are media. Digital business in the selfie era, warning companies and customers. Ethic, regulation and innovation are intertwined in a contemporary tale.
