Preface
This book is a compilation of studies that are intended to inform scholars, practitioners, researchers, and students on issues regarding mobile media use in Asia. These studies from a variety of academics expand on research in mass communications as well as in international studies, sociology, political communication, mobile technology, and Asian studies. I have been studying mobile media since it was created and find that its impact on different cultures as well as within cultures is always dynamic and evolving. There are very few—if any—compilations that focus on mobile media research, particularly in Asia where smartphones are more ubiquitous than in any other part of the world. These state-of-the-art studies show that there is yet more to learn about how mobile media affects us and the world around us. Columbia, SC, USA
