Online Journalism: Changing Public Mindset and Political Conflict. How online journalism is changing public mindset. How this change has raised political turmoil in Malaysia as elsewhere

      Аннотация: This book explores the role of online journalism in changing public mindset and its relationship to the political mobilization and turmoil that engulfed Malaysia, as many other developing countries in the world, over the last few years. The researcher proves here that public mindset change is the central factor that drives uprisings and political conflicts in the region. The political turmoil and conflicts have been raised and sharpened when more citizens have changed their mindset towards the hegemonic and conventional mechanism of power, due to the influence of the new communication technology, particularly independent online journalism that is very daring, democratic, investigative, and critical of government and norms.
